Research Interest: My dissertation focused on rapid prototyping of domain specific languages and I have more recently developed interests in the field of robotics and embedded systems. I have developed and explore interesting algorithms for Selected interelated graph problems, (vertex cover, independent set, maximum clique). More recently I have been focused on the rising complexity of human-computer interfaces. Specifically the challenges programmers face in developing intuitive systems. I would like to further explore and compare the merits of Java as an educational languages. And I am continually exploring the perverted world of HTML and CSS.
