Welcome Welcome to the Ubiquitous Computing group at the University of Washington. We do research in ubiquitous computing, human-computer interaction and developing world. In those domains we often build on previous work in sensor systems, embedded systems, and location-aware computing.

People Gaetano Borriello has a BS in EE from the Polytechnic Institute of New York (1979), an MS in EE from Stanford University (1981), and a PhD in CS from the Unversity of California at Berkeley (1988). He was a member of the research staff at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center from 1980-87. He joined the CSE Department in 1988. Gaetano Borriello is known primarily for his work in automatic synthesis of digital circuits, reconfigurable hardware, and embedded systems development tools. The focus of Borriello's research interests are in location-based systems, sensor-based inferencing, and tagging objects with passive and active tags. Jonathan Lester Harlan Hile Alan Liu Adrienne Andrew Yaw Anokwa is a second year Ph.D. student in computer science. His building, deploying, and evaluating low-cost technologies that positively impact the developing world and understanding the ubiquitous computing and human-computer interaction problems in that space. Yaw's previous work explored novel ways of using Near Field Communication in mobile devices. He has a B.Sc. in computer science from Butler University (2004) and a B.Sc. in electrical engineering from Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (2004) and is advised by Gaetano Borriello.
