About Me
I am a Ph.D student in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine. I am specializing in Informatics, and I work in the areas of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and Software Engineering. I am being advised by Dr. Gloria Mark. I am a member of two research groups here at UC Irvine: the Institute for Software Research (ISR), and Interactive and Collaborative Technologies (ICT). Research
My research focuses on the use of technology, and how people use technology both at home and at work. It is amazing how technology has permeated virtually every facet of our lives, and I wish to make technology more useable and useful. In all reality, what good is something if people can't use it?
