Materiality in suspense : exploring radical interfaces capable of representing multiple physical property transformations to enable computational, physical material perception
… biological and micromechanical to enable radical physical interaction with computation. With an increasing multi-modal complexity in such interfaces, this thesis explores a new methodologies and frameworks to designing input/output coincident and physically embodied computers. New types of Shape …

Second law analysis revisited: a critical look at its past development, a clarification of its terminology, and a demonstration of its use as a design tool through microcomputer programming
… As a part of this example, the correlation of physical property data by simple methods is demonstrated. The second example is a second law analysis of gas turbine systems. The salient point is that all of this can be done on a microcomputer, and consequently is readily available to any engineer.
