I recently completed a Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, working with Bonnie E. John and Len Bass.
My goal is to use technology to make the world a better place, helping people to communicate more openly, work more effectively, play more joyfully, learn more easily, create more freely, live more healthfully, and expand the options of future generations.
My industry-focused research improved HCI in the early part of the software development life cycle, helping software architects understand how to design for usability requirements. I also worked on software engineering education in professional development.
Areas of interest for future work: environmental conservation, citizen science, online social and learning media, interaction design, and usability throughout the software life cycle.
