Wearable devices of all kinds are becoming increasingly popular. One problem that plagues wearable devices, however, is how to interact with them. In this paper we construct a prototype electromyography (EMG) sensing device that captures a single channel of EMG sensor data corresponding to user gestures. We also implement a machine learning pipeline to recognize gestural input received via our ...

My initial project proposal was to enhance program safety by improving module interfaces. I projected this could be achieved by better abstractions and richer interface annotations. Since then, I have refined this goal by focusing on concurrent programs. During my first year I have looked at methods for reasoning about the correctness of concurrent programs, and software transactional memory, w...
