I'm a Doctoral Candidate in the Department of Informatics in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences and a member of the Institute for Software Research, both at the University of California, Irvine. In 2007 I graduated from UCI with a B.S. in Information and Computer Science and a B.A. in Psychology.My advisor is Professor André van der Hoek, whose research focuses on understanding and advancing the role of design, coordination, and education in software.
Over the past year my research has led me to investigating the role of sketching in design. Practically designers work out their ideas in a free form medium where they can express their ideas rapidly and with little effort. Sketching has been the mode of choice for designers to express their ideas. I'm interested in what we can do to create an environment that supports such designers.
