Prior to my current research focus on software, Natural Language Processing and mental health, my research field was very different.  It focused on understanding and developing the architecture of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), as well as the Computer-Aided Design tools needed in their use (and architecture exploration).  In addition, my students and I looked at a number of different applications (in biomedical fields, and computer vision) of FPGAs.  Below are the list of patents and publications in those fields.

Quite a number of software packages were released related to this work.
