You can find out more about me on this page.
I'm Mark Duckworth, a Masters student in CS. Over the summer I did some work on the Wound Measurment project and this semester, as a research assistant, I will continue to work on the project. It would be convenient if my class project also was related to the Wound Measurment device, but I'm not sure how that will work out. Also interested in other vision related projects. Email mgd (at) gatech (dot) edu.
Namaste, I'm gaurav from Delhi,India and am an MS CS student. I am moving towards specializing in robotics and VR. Am a under-the-hood type of person and well ummm i can program anything that runs on a well defined clock (and somethings that doesnt) on any platform and any language. Besides this i love freaking myself out on making electronic gadgets and yeah got some ideas for UbiComp but i would love to discuss them with Jay before i get onto them. http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~gaurav/ Email: gupta [dot] gaurav [at] gatech [dot] edu
Hi, I'm Andy Wu, a linux developer, MS in EE, and MS candidate in HCI. I'm interested in playing with Gumstix, building Bluetooth applications and tangible interfaces (phicons or any TUIs). website
Hey yo! I'm Alex Rudnick, master's student in CS. I'm into AI and edutech, and I'm particularly interested in applications in language. I'm not afraid to do some machine learning :) Today, I'm excited about alternative input devices – and maybe doing error correction for them. The Gumstix sound pretty awesome too. And HotSwap Radio. All sorts of cool things to think about!
I am Gregory Wilson, a undergraduate student in CS. I am interested in mobile phone programming, RFID technology and HCI. After graduating next fall, I want to enter graduate school in the HCI program. I have only been programming on mobile phones for a semester but I really enjoy it. I am currently doing research on making a game of the Nokia RFID mobile phone and developing a doctor/patient program for the IMS competition. I am also interested in the Gumstix computer/phone project. If anyone is interested in working with me, my email is wilsong0(at)cc.gatech.edu.
Hey, my name is Jiasheng He, “Jia Jia” for short. I'm currently an undergraduate in CS working in Dr. Starner's lab on mobile sensors such as the bluetooth accelerometer and the free digiter. I'm very interested in HCI and hardware/rapid prototyping. Potential projects I'm include gesture control of MP3 and Gesture Pendant with prox sensors, though I'm honestly interested in a lot of the suggested topics. Email contact is jiazhe(at)cc.gatech.edu.
Hi, My name is Jay Earle and I'm an undergrad CS student. I was really interested in the gumstix project and the library projector one. you can contact me by gt mail, use gtg210b. thanks.
Hi, my name is Susan Gov; I'm a MSCS student specializing in HCI. I have a BS in CS and have a fair amount of programming background. I know a bit about conducting evaluations. I am interested in a wide range of topics within HCI. Of the projects mentioned in class, I am interested in learning how to share media on multiple devices, hop swap radio, gumstix, gestures for mp3 players, phicons, smart toys, and probably more…a lot of the ideas seem like they would make interesting projects. I do not have a partner yet, so if you are interested in working with me, please email me (sgov at cc).
I'm Dannon Baker, MSCS student. I'm interested in just about everything, but for this class I hope to focus on IMS technology, and learn more about the neat things we can do with it. Given the cell phone's status as the 'killer app' for ubicomp, I find it rather sad that, for the most part, we basically use them for voice chat, texting, and little else. I'd like to expand that. More specifically, it would be interesting to see what we can do given the wide proliferation of cell phone cameras.
Hello. I am Sunyoung Kim, a CS-HCI MS student. I'm from Korea, and have two Bachelor degrees from back home majoring in Architecture and Housing & Interior design. Currently, I am intrested in Ubiquitous computing & mobile computing device interfaces.

I encourage everyone who is interested to work on Mobile applications, IMS competition or other related stuff, to keep in touch. I have seen here many folks are interested in Mobile Applications. I am looking forward to work with them on some great application and hoping to have a great fun during the class.
Hi, I'm Erika Shehan (erika at cc), a third year phd student in human-centered computing. My research interests are in HCI (in general), but more specifically in usability of networking & security as well as privacy issues associated with ubicomp. My skills include usability evaluations and writing IRB applications. I also like writing papers a lot. My undergrad degree is in CS, so I can also program (java, jython, etc), but frankly I'm a bit rusty, so if coding's your passion, that's all the better 
I'd like to do something related to privacy & RFID or some sort of rapid prototyping project.
Hello. My name is Travis Deyle (beambot at gmail.com), and the picture above is of myself, my girlfriend, and my dog. I'm just beginning my PhD in ECE. My research interests are quite varied, and I'm still actively searching for my niche. I’m thoroughly interested in robotics, embedded systems, augmented reality, computer security, chemistry… who am I kidding, all science and technology. I like the idea of the gumstix phone (see TuxPhone), Software Radio (see GNUradio), other rapid-prototyping research (see RepRap), etc. My BS degrees were in EE, CompE, CS, and Math, and I’ve spent much of my time implementing real systems at Sandia National Labs. Proficient in a few programming languages, OSes, and microcontrollers.
Howdy, I'm Scott Gilliland. I'm generally entertained with anything that involves computers and is a little bit different. You might notice me around class as the guy with the toshiba libretto, which is running ubuntu at the moment. I'm all for any software that works and is free.
I'm fairly interested in the gumstix cellphone projet, since I did try to figure out how to write my own stuff for my cell phone. I'm also fairly interested the building a better keyboard, since I once tried to build my own keyboard for a tablet pc, after gawking at the price tag on the twiddler. Really, many of those projects sounded cool, so there's no telling.
I have a fair bit of mechanical know-how, run linux exclusively, and prefer python when given a choice.
I can generally be gotten by emailing scott.gilliland@gatech.edu, or im'ming zeroping@gmail.com
Hi, I’m Nick Ralabate. I’m a last year CS undergrad. I am interested in the emulation of 1980s consoles and interactive audio visualizations such as those made by Toshio Iwai and Ryan Geiss. I have experience in mobile gaming, specifically programming to the J2ME platform. I joined a group that produced an action game and a MSO game. As far as this class goes, I am looking forward to producing hardware prototypes and I would like to work on environmental applications of sensor networks. My email is ralabate@gmail.com.
My name is Nirmal Patel. I'm a second year MSCS student. I've worked for Thad for a few years. I recently completed an internship at Motorola Labs and demoed at LinuxWorld. I worked in the mobile gaming group there and brought some project ideas back with me. I'm looking to continue work along these lines. You can email me at nirmal@gatech.edu.
Hi, I'm Eugene Medynskiy. I'm a first year HCC PhD student. I have a fair amount of programming background, including GUI and web programming. I an interested in social applicatiosn of ubicomp, as well as critical (read: unusual) and fun designs. I don't have much hardware experience right now, but I'm definitely looking forward to getting my feet wet!
My previous work and interests are in social networks and everyday social interactions (esp. computer-mediated ones), so I would be interested in designing mobile/ubicomp systems to be used by groups of people.
Reach me at ymedynskiy3@gatech.edu (My spiffy, new @cc email address hasn't yet been activated).
I'm Justin Smith. I am a fourth year undergrad Computational Media student. I am interested specifically in Game and Interface design. Sports games and interfaces are something I am very interested in working with. I have a background in programming Java and C, even though I can't say it's my favorite thing to do (Design is where my passion lies). Previous experience includes a little HCI and Augmented Reality. I enjoy working with prototyping tools such as Maya, Virtools, Flash, and Illustrator/Photoshop. I also work with the GT Football team doing Sports Medicine. I hope to attend grad school at the University of Texas next year. You can contact me at jsmith@gatech.edu.
Hi. I'm JungSoo Kim. I am a first year master student in CS. I have worked on GT2K since I was under grad fourth year student at GATech. I'm interested in making Twiddler with pointing device and adding gesture recogntion functionality.
Hi, I'm Chris Beall. I'm a new PhD student in ECE. I'm interested in computer vision, robotics, embedded systems, mobile computing, etc. I've completed a number of practical projects, and my MS thesis was about self-localization and deployment of robots using computer vision and landmark detection. I'd say I'm a decent programmer, and am very comfortable building my own hardware and circuits.
Hi there! I'm Sangwook Suh, an ECE PhD student. I'm from a small but not feeble Asian country, 'Korea'. You might get some ideas of me from my website :)
Hello, I'm Jeremy Rogers. I am Master's in Computer Science. My current interests are games, unique interfaces (gestures, handwriting, etc) and long-term data archival. I will probably be working on making a Bluetooth Twiddler, and I am also interested in creating or contributing to a data standard that would encompass all available ubiquitous computers - something like an XML standard for all these embedded devices so that access, archival, and search of the units can be centralized. This would help ensure that no important capture data were lost due to proprietary data formats and the continual “progress” of technology. I can program in C, Java and JDBC, and PHP, to name a few languages. I also have lived in Japan for two years. Douzo yoroshiku!
