Research Interests:
Soft computing for prediction, monitoring, and decision making in nondeterministic, sensor-based systems.
Human-centered and new product design: user needs assessment; applied design methodology; deployment and evaluation techniques.

Applications: Sustainable and efficient energy, alternative energy, public health, and development. Bayesian artificial intelligence for the control and monitoring of commercial daylighting systems.
