Google scholar provides a nice index to my research publications

The following outline provides an overview of my research activities

  • Health-related

    • Enhancing Verbal Communication via Augmented Prosody Perception (Current)

    • Implanted medical devices (late 2000's), in collaboration with Texas Instruments Corp

      • Examination of the suitability of near field communication (NFC) to communicate with and transmit power to implanted medical devices.

      • Development of communication protocols with privacy and security properties suitable for enabling first responders to detect, communicate with, and control implanted medical devices.

  • Flexible, high performance, and energy-efficient networked computing systems

      • After I joined UTEP's faculty for computer science in 2004, my students and I developed strategies for efficiently distributing and updating authorization and trust credentials in peer-to-peer contexts and enabling energy-efficient high performance computation.

      • In 2004, I contributed to the design of an early and influential autonomically managed content distribution network called Coral CDN

      • In the early 2000's, I was technical lead for NYU's Parallel and Distributed Group's participation in multiple DARPA/SPAWAR efforts develop flexible and secure communication infrastructure suitable to support dynamic coalitions.

      • n the late 1990's, I was the technical lead for NYU's efforts to support DARPA's Mobile and Stationary Automatic Target Recognition. project. My contributions included algorithms and software architectures to support efficient hypothesis refinement and validation.

      • From the mid-1980's to the mid-1990's, I was part of NYU Ultracomputer Project''s operating system development team. My primary contributions to this effort examined and refined mechanisms and algorithms to enable efficient coordination of parallel programs executed on shared-memory (now frequently called multi-core) computers.

  • STEM-Education

    • I was the director of the IMPACT-STEM project that developed strategies for enabling middle-school through college students in the exploration of related rates of change through programming in algebra, calculus and physics classes.
