I am a fifth-year UW graduate student in the Computer Science & Engineering department. I have a M.S. in CSE from UW and a B.S. in EECS from UC Berkeley, where I was a member of the Group for User Interface Research. Research-wise, I am interested in the design of personal sensing applications for healthcare and rehabilitative medicine purposes. To that end, I am designing user interfaces to help people with cognitive disabilities navigate indoors, using the Intel multi-sensor board and Wizard of Oz prototyping tools, for Project ACCESS.
