October 2001 , Alex Pang and I demonstrated the Prototype Haptics device
at the IEEE Information Visualization 2001 conference in San Diego.
I have developed VisPad, a novel Large Area Vibrotactile Force Feedback
Device.
I have written two papers on my haptic research that have been published. The first is on VisPad a novel haptics perceptual device. This was published in the IEEE Haptics 2004 proceedings. The other is on the usability study I performed to prove that multi-modal visualization with VisPad improves user performance over graphics based visualization alone. This paper is located at IVS 2004, Spring 2004, Volume 3, Number 1, pg 36.
I wrote a research paper with Marc Hansen and Alex Pang on our Protein Alignment Visualization tool. My name at the time was Doanna Meads. The paper was accepted as a Research Report for presentation at InfoVis '98, the IEEE Visualization '98 Conference. Our paper on ProtAlign: A 3-D Protein Alignment Assessment Tool was accepted and published in the PSB99 proceedings. PROMUSE: A Prototype for Multi-Media Protein Alignment Visualization has also been published.

During the Summer of 2001, I ported the entire user interface used in my research to the Windows Platform. The haptics module now runs on a Dell Inspiron Laptop 833 mhz running Windows 2000. The prototype is bulky, but portable.
I lectured for 2-1/2 years for CMPE003 Personal
Computers. But then I had to earn the PhD so I quit to write my
thesis.
I have no office in which you can regularly find me.
My office phone is non-existent.
I work at home.
My research equipment is bulky and hard to carry around, so demos by
advance appointment only.
