August 28, 2008: Guardian has published an article on our SUPPLE system.
July 15, 2008: We have finally created a video illustrating some of SUPPLE's capabilities. See the High Definition version (12MB), a lower resolution version (7MB), or the YouTube version (lowest quality).
I have recently graduated from University of Washington. In July of 2009, I will join the Harvard Computer Science faculty (see my Harvard page). Meanwhile, I am spending a year with the Adaptive Systems and Interaction group at Microsoft Research.
While at the University of Washington, I worked with my advisors, Dan Weld and Jake Wobbrock, on several projects, including SUPPLE, ANAULD, and SUPPLE++ in the area of automatically generating personalized adaptive interfaces.
In 2006, I was a co-organizer of the Workshop on the Many Faces of Consistency at CHI'06 in Montreal. The workshop focused on user interface consistency in multi-platform design. See the proceedings.
In the Fall of 2005 I was visiting faculty at the Ashesi University in Accra, Ghana, where I was teaching Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. In the winter of 2003 I was involved in starting a seminar on ubiquitous computing here at the University of Washington.
Before coming to the University of Washington, I spent seven years at MIT where I earned my Bachelors and Masters degrees, and where I also worked for two years as a research scientist managing the operations of the Intelligent Room Project, and coordinating some of the activities related to the Project Oxygen at the MIT AI Lab.
In my free time I often read, explore nearby mountains (latest hike: Mt. Teneriffe), travel, and do photography.
Currently, I am learning how to write Firefox extensions and I am finding that some parts of the process are very poorly documented so I have started a blog to document the process as I go through it.
In preparation for the imminent grownuphood, I've enjoyed learning about the confusing world of real estate. Allen Jaworski's blog about Seattle real estate has been most illuminating.
