The motivation for my research is the plethora of information made available by the advancement of technology. The popularity of the Web, faster and more powerful processors, and more sophisticated operating systems have resulted in more information being accessible to everyday individuals. Furthermore, output devices have not kept up with this giant leap of information--most individuals still tend to use the 17" CRT monitors they were using several years ago.

Although research such as Duke Hutchings', my labmate, focuses on window management and multiple displays -- a recent "hot topic" in the Human-Computer Interaction community), I am interested in developing new ways to represent information in effective manners, such as via peripheral displays. It is my goal to develop technologies that assist everyday individuals in managing the flood of information that is now made available. I am also interested in developing evaluation techniques for existing peripheral displays to develop design strategies.
