Graduate Student
Computer Science & Engineering

I am a fifth-year PhD student in the Computer Science & Engineering department at the University of Washington advised by Prof. Dieter Fox. My research interests are in Machine Learning, Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp), and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), specifically in their application to problems of broader social impact such as mass-transit systems and helping those with cognitive impairments.

I am the lead developer for http://onebusaway.org, a site that aims to improve the usability of mass-transit in the Puget Sound region and beyond.
