Alumni
Intel Labs Seattle, Information School

Keywords: ubiquitous computing, human-computer interaction, persuasive technology, privacy, social implications, health, physical activity

Sunny joined Intel Labs Seattle in October 2001 as a member of the research staff. Recently, she has been designing and evaluating mobile persuasive technologies to support everyday behavior change, particularly for health-related behaviors such as encouraging individual's to be physically active. Sunny is also investigating individuals’ understanding of and privacy concerns related to wireless networking and designing tools to help them be more aware of what they broadcast about themselves when they use wireless networks. Sunny’s prior research has included investigating privacy implications of location-enhanced technologies and developing technologies to help elders age in place. She previously worked in Silicon Valley where her focus was on web design and usability. Sunny received her doctorate from the Information School at the University of Washington where she was advised by Professor David McDonald.
