Dr. Paul Weber
I received a B.S. degree in the field of Computer Engineering in 2003 and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in the field of Electrical Engineering in 2005 and 2006, respectively, from Michigan Technological University (Houghton, MI).
Solar Project
I am currently working on an interdisciplinary solar project with Prof. Scott Norr, Dr. Stan Burns, Mr. Tom Ferguson (all of ECE/SCSE), and Dr. Dan Pope (MIE). Phase 0 is currently in progress, in which weather sensors will be installed on the rooftop of Malosky Stadium and weather and energy data will be collected from the 6kW PV solar array. Please check back late fall/early spring semester for more information.
Fly by Feel
Since the summer of 2008, I have served as a secondary advisor for a few UROP projects in the area of tactile feedback. The research is coordinated by Chris Prince of the CS department here at UMD. Click here for more information.
