I’m a graduate student in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. My research is focused on the design of data management tools and techniques that facilitate end-user interaction with mobile and web-based pervasive computing applications. A side interest has been in protecting user privacy in such applications.

   I have a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of Toronto. and an M.S. in Computer Science & Engineering from the University of Washington. I’ve worked for both Intel Research and Microsoft Research and I’m currently the lead graduate student on the RFID Ecosystem project. I’m advised by Prof. Magdalena Balazinska and Prof. Gaetano Borriello.

News & Recent Work

	Autumn '09: I'm working on a web-based tool that allows end-users to understand and verify the behavior of complex RFID events. This tool could be used to greatly reduce software tuning and deployment costs in emerging real-time location systems for domains like
	7/09: I was recently a panelist speaking on RFID and privacy at the mid-year meeting of the American Bar Association's Committee on Technology in the Practice and Workplace.
	6/09: MobiSys 2009 in Krakow, Poland! I presented our paper "Longitudinal Study of a Building Scale RFID Ecosystem." This work summarizes and analyzes measurements from a long term study in the RFID Ecosystem.
