We have worked together for years exploring text entry, use-in-motion, and mobile HCI challenges in general. We have successfully published a number of papers and grants together and this is a direct result of his tireless enthusiasm, his insatiable curiosity, and his ability to kindly guide a novice researcher through the process of conducting and communicating research. Thad is one of the most brilliant, selfless, and inspiring people I have encountered and it has been a true honor to work with him these past eight years.
