Current Project 1:
How Culture Affects Social Networking Privacy

How do cultural values, national histories, and language affect privacy behaviors in online social media? Supported by an awesome Fulbright Scholarship, I am spending the 2010-2011 academic year in Hungary researching privacy behaviors on both Facebook and iWiW.
Current Project 2:
End-User Programming in Smart Homes

I remain part of a great research group based at Rutgers even though I no longer work there and am currently an ocean away. We're creating Scratchable Devices, a programming paradigm and series of control systems enabling the average person to use a variant of the Scratch educational programming language to program household devices. Our group's website includes lots of videos, pictures, and tutorials.
