I have been a Senior Research Engineer at Motorola Labs since the summer
of 2006. I am currently working on a number of projects ranging from
lightweight sharing of mobile context to using gaming to promote
healthcare in developing countries.
My research interests span the areas of human-computer interaction,
computer-supported collaborative work, and intelligent user interfaces. I
am primarily interested in how users can better understand the mechanisms
behind intelligent systems. In my previous work as a postdoctoral fellow
at Carnegie Mellon University,
I investigated how users' mental models of an intelligent user interface
develop through their interactions with the interface over time.
My Ph.D. thesis work made use of intelligent systems to support
informal communication in the workplace. By developing and deploying a
shared predictive calendar called Augur, I evaluated this system's
effects on communication, privacy management, and adoption in a
real-world setting.
I received my Ph.D. from Georgia Tech in 2005 under the advisement of
Dr. Elizabeth Mynatt, interning at Microsoft
Research, Intel Research, and Accenture Technology Labs during that time.
Prior to that, I was a software developer for what is now Varian Medical
Systems. I was also a researcher for the department of Neurological
Surgery at the University of Virginia, where I received my BS in 1995.
