- What is your area of expertise?
- What are your expectations for a capstone student?
- What is your general availability for mentoring next semester?
- Do you have any project types you are not interested in working with?
- What are your thoughts on a secondary advisor?
My area of expertise is HCI, specifically usability and user-centered design theory and principles. My area of interest is non-traditional interaction development and testing. My research is focused on interactive voice response systems and the psychological and sociological reaction to synthetic voices.
Surprisingly high. I expect students to meet with me weekly, to demonstrate mastery of their chosen subject, and importantly, to be innovative. I like students that want to do something novel, not just redo something someone else has done.
I have only a limited number of capstone students so I can devote two hours per week for meetings and help and more if needed during critical times.
I would be less interested in projects that do not involve usability or user-centered design. Specifically I would probably steer clear of people doing stand-alone development.
I think a second advisor can be beneficial if a significant amount of the project involves an aspect outside the expertise of the primary mentor. I think this should be worked out with the primary mentor.
