Work Experience

• Research Intern at IBM's T. J. Watson Research Lab, Hawthorne, NY - Working on cancelable fingerprint biometrics
  Period: Jan 2008 to July 2008

• Research Assistant at the Centre for Unified Biometrics and Sensors (CUBS), SUNY, Buffalo – Responsibilities include odour-typing for biometrics and design of an artificial hand-writing generation tool.
  Period: Jan 2006 to Present

• Project Assistant at the Department of Media Study, SUNY, Buffalo on the Tactical Sound Garden [TSG] Toolkit Project – The project involves integrating PlaceLab for WiFi positioning on mobile devices and the FMOD 3D audio engine to enable anyone living within dense 802.11 wireless "hot zones" in urban environments to install a "sound garden" for public use. Using a WiFi enabled mobile device, participants "plant" sounds within a positional audio environment. These plantings are mapped onto the coordinates of a physical location by a 3D audio engine - overlaying a publicly constructed soundscape onto a specific urban space. Wearing headphones connected to a WiFi enabled device, participants drift though virtual sound gardens planted by others as they move throughout the city. More information is available at the project website and related web sources.
