Snapshot:
I am a third-year graduate student in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. I'm most interested in how computing can be used to make life outside of work more personally fulfilling, and so thus am doing research in the general areas of Ubiquitous Computing and Human-Computer Interaction. Right now, I'm interested in context-aware mobile systems that can help persuade people to change their behavior to reach their personal goals. My advisors are Gaetano Borriello and James Fogarty.

I'm currently funded by Nokia on a project where one major component is tracking nutritional intake by using a diary on a mobile phone. We are looking at ways to use context and sensing to streamline the form-filling process and provide appropriate reminders.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree (1999) in Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I worked with Carol Strohecker at Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratory for a couple years, then went to Stanford University for my Master's of the Arts degree (2001) in the Learning, Design and Technology program. I worked at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for a few years before returning to graduate studies at UW.

my stanford website-- I haven't updated it since I left, but provides some information about what I did when I was there (and some before).

my personal website-- don't expect much

"my" blog-- well, a family blog I tend to be the only one to update. Well, occasionally. But I just (well, "just") updated the engine, so I'm back at ground zero and still getting around to building it back up.
