Project Title: Hydraulic Geometry
Team Members: Me, Dr. Greg Ridenour, Dr. Matt Jones, Mr. Mike Wilson, Dr. Nicholas Coleman, and Students
Project Description:
- Data mining to compute hydraulic geometry.
- Stochastic modeling reveals the influence of other variables on hydraulic geometry; compositional data analysis measures how well a stochastic extremal hypothesis model simulates natural distributions.
- A Compositional Statistics Calculator performs computations described in A Concise Guide to Compositional Data Analysis by John Aitchison.

Team Members: Me, Dr. Greg Ridenour, Dr. Matt Jones, Mr. Mike Wilson, Mr. Brian Rivers
Project Description: Defining, calculating and comparing Spatial Accuracy and Precision of GPS-Enabled Devices.
Year: 2007 to 2012; Refereed Papers: 6
Project Title: Protein Secondary Structure Prediction
Team Members: Me, Dr. Jennifer Leopold, Dr. Ronald Frank
Project Description: The research team developed a protein secondary structure prediction method, BLAST-RT-RICO (Relaxed Threshold Rule Induction from Coverings), that employs a modified association rule learning approach, utilizing multiple sequence alignment information, to predict protein secondary structures.

Project Title: Amphibian Anatomical Ontology
My Role: Ontology Development, Web Design and Development
Project Description: The Amphibian Anatomical Ontology (AmphibAnat) is an NSF-sponsored project dedicated to constructing semi-automatically a draft ontology of amphibian anatomy. In this project, small, subset ontologies are constructed manually, and data-mining software (that we develop) is used to mine electronic media for instances of concepts and properties to be added to the ontologies. The draft ontologies are made Web-accessible, and are presented for community modification, enhancement, and curation.

Project Title: RDBOM (Relational Database Ontology Maintenance)
My Role: Ontology Development, Algorithm Design, Web Design and Development, Server Administration
Project Description: RDBOM (Relational Database Ontology Maintenance) is a web-based software system that exploits the traditional features of a relational database management system in terms of concurrency control, security, and consistency checking in order to facilitate querying and updating an ontology.
Year: 2007 to 2008
Project Title: MorphologyNet
My Role: Web Development
Project Description: MorphologyNet is an NSF-funded, freely available interactive library of three-dimensional digital reconstructions of animal anatomy, which includes an easy-to-use interface that allows users to manipulate images just as they would real biological objects, including rotation in all planes simultaneously and "dissection" of tissues and structures.

Project Title: J3 ROVING EYE, The Mobile Surveillance System
Team Members: Ng Wee Hua, Toh Teng Hui, Yeo Chai Heng (Temasek Polytechnic, Final Year Students)
My Role: Project Supervisor
Outcome: Singapore Splash Awards Wireless Jam 2005 :: Top Prize - Enterprise Category :: Radix Most Outstanding Team Award
Related Material: Presentation, Award Ceremony
Project Description: The project, J3 Roving Eye, is a concept. Through the use of a surveillance vehicle which transmits moving images via the wireless network, companies can monitor their premises anytime and anywhere, via a PDA or computer. For the prototype, a camera is mounted on a toy car (the camera can be mounted on golf cars, pre-installed moving tracks or even walking robots). Through a computer or PDA, security personnel can also control the movement of the moving vehicle.
