about me
I am a PhD graduate student in Human Computer Interaction at the University of Washington advised by
James Landay and a
Microsoft Research Graduate Fellow
(sponsored by
Microsoft Live Labs). I am also a founding member and former student coordinator
of
dub, an interdisciplinary HCI group on campus that includes students
and faculty from Computer Science, the Information School, Technical Communications, dxArts, and other departments.
I have my Master's degree from the University of California, Irvine where I was advised by
Paul Dourish.
research interests
I am interested in building and studying interactive technology that addresses high value social issues
such as computer accessibility, global warming, and healthcare.
My dissertation topic is on promoting sustainable behaviors through sensing of existing infrastructure and feedback technology.
Work related to this topic can be found at the
sustain wiki and
sustain blog.
I am currently studying how methods in machine
learning and mobile computing can be used to better understand the usage of shared biking systems like the
Bicing
program found in Barcelona, Spain.
In the past, I've worked on prototypes to
assist physically disabled users with mobile touch screen interfaces
(
Barrier Pointing), cell phone
applications that combine sensing, machine learning, and activity inference to create awareness of
personal habits such as fitness (
UbiFit)
and travel patterns (
UbiGreen), and novel visualizations
of code repository data to reveal social relationships that exist in open source codebases
(
Augur).
Much of my work is motivated by the notion that technology can be an incredibly powerful tool, allowing
scientists to explore behaviors and social phenomena in ways that were previously not possible and
empowering users to express themselves, learn and share information, and connect with one another
using novel communication mediums and means.
