Chris Coulston
Teaching Professor, Electrical Engineering
Chris enjoys developing with embedded systems, from the PCBs to firmware to run them. Applications range from real-time asset tracking (people and a campus bus) to the utilization of LEDs as input devices. A long-standing project is investigating how to utilize commercial LEDs matrices as interactive touch displays.
