Snapshot:

I am a fifth-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 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.

Current Projects

My current projects are centered around using mobile phones for dietary intake tracking. Soon, I'll have some information here about the work I'm doing on the BALANCE project and what I am starting to pursue for my thesis research.

Research Interests:

Ubiquitous computing (ubicomp), human-computer interaction (hci), persuasive technology, context-aware computing, ambient displays, sensor-rich environments, evaluation of ubiquitous and mobile technologies
