Bradley Allen Singletary CONTACT INFORMATION Physical: 914 Collier Road Apt. 3301 Atlanta, GA 30318 Electronic: (404)-351-6915 bas@cc.gatech.edu http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~bas RESEARCH DIRECTIONS I currently build research software and hardware to understand how wearable computers will change the way we live and interact with the world. I believe that modeling a person's context can provide very useful knowledge about what they are trying to do in everyday life. This knowledge may be used to further a wearable user's everyday goals through natural, automatic, access to task relevant information and control interfaces. Wearable computers provide a platform for context modeling as well as combining or replacing many common mobile electronic devices. EDUCATION 1998 - PRESENT: Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA Enrolled in 4rth year of Doctoral Program in Computer Science. 1994-1998: East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, TN B.S. in Computer Science with a GPA of 3.68 RELEVANT GRADUATE COURSEWORK Pattern Recognition Computer Vision Partial Differential Equations for Computer Vision Machine Learning Ubiquitous Computing Computer Graphics Artificial Intelligence Behavior Based Robotics Operating Systems Analysis of Algorithms Parallel Computer Architecture Algorithms For Very Large Data Sets EMPLOYMENT 1999 - PRESENT: Graduate Research Assistant, Contextual Computing Group Actively researching and developing a number of technologies including aural and visual augmented realities, markov model based gesture recognition, everyday wearable computer hardware, symbiotic software interfaces, and gesture based interfaces to smart environments. Working towards a model of interaction where software works for the user by leveraging the user's real world context which is obtained from environmental and on the body sensors. Summer 2000: Summer Intern, Compaq Cambridge Research Lab Explored face detection for mobile handheld devices. Participated in development of an architecture for efficient face detection on the Itsy V2 research prototype pocket computer. An accurate skin detector was implemented on the prototype and tested in a wide variety of lighting conditions. 1998 - 1999: Graduate Research Assistant, Mobile Robotics Laboratory Aided in the development of a Linux based mobile robot control platform called MissionLab. The platform supported our work with DARPA in the development of an autonomous robot system for Military Over Urban Terrain missions and intelligence. Implemented a Linux driver for the Pioneer AT mobile robot platform and integrated the Pioneer platform into Missionlab. SUMMER 1998: DOE Summer Research Fellowship, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN Worked in ORNL's Center for Collaborative Technologies Research Center on a collaborative system for creating and managing federal work proposals in the DOE. I helped implement an information exchange middleware layer based on XML as part of the Collaborative Management Environment (CME) project. 1995 - 1997: Cooperative Education, Siemens Energy and Automation, Johnson City, TN Worked for Siemens for 4 alternating semesters as a hardware technician, software test designer and software engineer in support of Siemen's Simatic PCS development effort. Developed an XWindows screen layout capture/management GUI for PCS version 4.0. Developed, maintained, and executed automated test suites on all versions of PCS. Designed and installed redundant testing network solutions. Worked as a software, hardware, and network maintenance technician in support of over 1,000 PC systems. PUBLICATIONS Potok, T.
