Graduate Student
Computer Science & Engineering

I am a doctoral student in the Computer Science & Engineering department at the University of Washington advised by Prof. James Landay. I am interested in building and studying interactive technology that addresses high value social issues such as computer accessibility, global warming, and healthcare. For example, in the past, I have built and evaluated a prototype to assist physically disabled users with mobile touch screen interfaces. I have also collaborated on a project called UbiFit, which uses machine learning, activity inference, and personal ambient displays to increase a person’s awareness of their own fitness patterns in order to encourage a healthy lifestyle. Most of my past research has focused on integrating low-cost sensing, inference and data collection on mobile phones. I hope to continue in this space but with a focus on how such data can be collected, visualized, and shared on a massive scale.
