Graduate Student
Computer Science & Engineering

Keywords: accessibility

I am a PhD student in the Computer Science & Engineering department at the University of Washington advised by Richard Ladner. My research interests are in Human-Computer Interaction, specifically in accessible technology. I am interested in technological solutions that reduce real life barriers and facilitate interaction between humans and computers.
