“I can't go back to yesterday - because I was a different person then.”-Lewis Carroll

Welcome.

My name is Robert LiKamWa. I am a PhD student at Rice University in Dr. Lin Zhong's Rice Efficient Computing Group, focusing on mobile context-awareness and mobile display enhancement. My graduate career is supported through a Texas Instruments Graduate Fellowship.

In the past, my interests have included theater set building, and musical theater piano accompaniment. I am still an active violinist of the Marching Owl Band.
