Emerging Interface Technologies
The study of the relationship between humans and increasingly powerful, portable, interconnected, and ubiquitous computers has become one of the most rapidly growing and significant fields of technical investigation. Interdisciplinary in the extreme, this emerging field will have an impact on nearly every area of human endeavor. There exists a need to specifically train students in this burgeoning area, and we hold a strong commitment to train students to be the best and the brightest. We feel that involving students in cutting-edge research is the best way to prepare future engineers, scientists, and artists to work at the ever more present interface between humans and computers.
We look forward to seeing an application from you.
Thanks!
Kind Regards,
Sarah Pippin
