Dr. Andrew Y.J. Szeto, professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has research interests in electrocutaneous stimulation, rehabilitation engineering, and biomedical engineering. He as supervised federally funded projects that applied appropriate technology toindividuals with various disabilities and provided transdisciplinary training in the emerging field of Assistive Technology. Szeto has been involved in studying mechanisms that underlie the speed of information processing that is presented to the tactile sense by means of mild electrical pulses. The potential application of this work lies in the design of better assistive devices that utilize the sense of touch for communicating important environmental information to persons who have significant sensory impairments. He has supervised 14 theses, a number of research projects in rehabilitation engineering, and design projects in assistive technology. He has published over 50 full-length articles and over 60 conference papers and abstracts. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering…
