Alec Jacobson Research Statement Fabricating User Interfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
I attack from both fronts: I bring ideas from differential geometry and finite-element analysis to model geometric problems more intuitively and more robustly. Meanwhile, I pursue user interfaces to reduce human effort and increase creative or scientific exploration of geometric data. To elaborate on these recurring themes, allow me to share four parallel and complementary branches of investigation.

Alec Jacobson Teaching Statement
My passion for teaching began early. Throughout high school and college, I tutored English to African immigrants. Later, while student teaching remedial and gifted-and-talented mathematics at a New York City public middle school, I realized the diversity of how students learn. Some students thrive off interactive lectures, while others do not fully digest a lecture until working out examples at...
متن کاملA New Trust Model for B2C E-Commerce Based on 3D User Interfaces
Lack of trust is one of the key bottle necks in e-commerce development. Nowadays many advanced technologies are trying to address the trust issues in e-commerce. One among them suggests using suitable user interfaces. This paper investigates the functionality and capabilities of 3D graphical user interfaces in regard to trust building in the customers of next generation of B2C e-commerce websit...
متن کاملAlgorithms and Interfaces for Real-Time Deformation of 2D and 3D Shapes
This thesis will investigate computer algorithms and user interfaces which assist the process of deforming raster images, vector graphics, geometric models and animated characters in real time. Many recent works have focused on deformation quality, but often at the sacrifice of interactive performance. A goal of this thesis is to approach such high quality but at a fraction of the cost. This wi...
متن کاملPosition statement: in favour of (more) intelligence in the semantic UI
In this position statement I advocate for a particular approach in creating interfaces for semantic web user interfaces: designing and building intelligent user interfaces with increased automation of user tasks. My suggestion is that this goal is facilitated by the characteristics of the underlying semantic information model, which will provide raw material for improved models of user profiles...
متن کاملRepresenting Spatial Information through Multimodal Interfaces
The research discussed here is a component of a larger study to explore the accessibility and usability of spatial data presented through multiple sensory modalities including haptic, auditory, and visual interfaces. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and other computer-based tools for spatial display predominantly use vision to communicate information to the user, as sight is the spatial s...
