Michael Karlesky ,

Ph.D.

I became fascinated with the human element of computing during my twelve years in the computer engineering and contract software world where I worked on everything from weather balloons to smart rear view mirrors. A lifelong love of theme parks and miniature golf courses led me—naturally—to a particular interest in the interrelation of technology and play.

My work at Tandon centered on embodied interaction with applications in peripheral interaction and security research.
