Ethics

Rayvon Fouché

As a cultural historian of technology, Rayvon Fouché studies the nature and significance of engineering's impact on society and how social and cultural knowledge influence technological trust.
Michael C. Loui

Together with undergraduate and graduate students, Professor Loui conducts research in computational complexity theory, ethics in engineering and computing, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.
Michael Twidale

Professor Twidale's research focus is sociotechnical systems analysis and design. This involves studying how people learn about computational devices and applications, the ways they make sense of them and misunderstand them, and how they use, tailor, appropriate, combine, and integrate them into their lives.

Privacy, Security, and Location-Based Tracking Systems

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) and global positioning system (GPS) technologies allow the ubiquitous tracking of objects and people. We are analyzing the privacy and security issues raised by location-based tracking systems. Although the collection of information with RFIDs and GPS has benefits, the centralization of the collected information may threaten individual privacy.
