Work

Background

I recently finished my Ph.D. in the Computer Science Department at the University of British Columbia. My area of research is human interaction with large display surfaces, including tabletops and wall displays. My supervisor is Kellogg Booth. Recent work of mine on whole body input anticipated the popular Microsoft Kinect product. Sony has announced products that build from my Master’s thesis work (pdf) on multi-user privacy on a shared display.

I was previously Director of Research for Idelix Software, a developer of mapping software.
I functioned as a software designer and developer, was responsible for the company academic outreach program, the technical management of government grants, communication with potential customers, and development of intellectual property. After I returned to school I continued with the company as an advisor, helping it transition to an advertising business model.
