Keywords: mobile hci, accessibility, situational impairments, input and interaction

I am a PhD candidate at The Information School at the University of Washington. My primary research interests are accessible user interfaces and mobile human-computer interaction. My work explores ways to make mobile devices easier to use, especially for people with disabilities and people in distracting environments.

I'm a member of the AIM Research Group, MobileAccessibility and the DUB Group. My advisor is Jacob O. Wobbrock. For more information, check out my CV.
