Embedded Systems research interests include applications of reconfigurable software to embedded systems and event-based software simulations in embedded systems.
My professional area of expertise is software engineering. My technical interests derive from my basic interest in software comprehension, both as it relates to the software's internal characteristics and to its utilization in a particular environment. My specialty is assessing the degree of fit of software engineering techniques, tools and methods to any given situation, and tailoring their application to enhance their effectiveness. I am particularly interested in information sharing, communication difficulties and the type of learning that occurs during software development. Currently I am studying the effects of these issues on job satisfaction and personnel retention. http://faculty.washington.edu/cioch/

For many years, Dr. Jackels' research had focused primarily on application of large-scale computational science methods to chemical and physical problems involving the ground and excited state properties of small molecules, especially those that are of importance in Earth's atmosphere.
Ab initio quantum chemical studies in his lab have focused on the the overtone vibrational spectrum of ethanol and the photolysis of Cl2O2.
These studies employed large-scale CASSCF, configuration interaction, and perturbation theory calculations.
Recent activity has moved in an entirely different direction, involving collaboration in an international project to conduct service-based chemistry research for improvement of coffee quality with Nicaraguan small-holder coffee farmers. This project has involved field work on farms in Nicaragua and laboratory studies in both Seattle and Managua.
This project is being accomplished through partnership with students, faculty, and staff of Seattle University (SU), the University of Central America Managua, and Catholic Relief Services/Nicaragua (CRS/NI).

I am involved in a number of research and development projects. Outside of UWB, my company is involved in the research and development of 'shrinkwrap' software and web development with several small software vendors. Personally, my research interests are in a variety of areas including software engineering techniques practical for small software teams and ontologies and other semantic structures for encoding, searching, and navigating tazonomies of knowledge.http://www.eclecticweb.com/
