I am now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science and Engineering at the University of Florida. Stay tune for an updated website.
I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science department at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado and direct the Human-Computer Interaction Lab. I am also a member of the Microbial Ecology Group at CSU. I received my doctorate degree in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo in 2012 where I worked under the supervision of Dr. Edward Lank. I also hold a MS in Computer Science from San Francisco State University and a BS in Psychology from UC Davis.
The main goal of my research in human-computer interaction is to develop an understanding of users and technology to support user interaction. For more information about some of my research projects visit my Projects section or the CSU HCI Lab website .
