Research Experience
Computer-Mediated Affect in Text-Based Collaboration
Cecilia Aragon, HDS Lab, UW, Spring 2015, Research Assistant
Studying the role of emotion/affect in long-term scientific collaborations through analysis of longitudinal chat conversation logs.
Text-Based Communication With Virtual Agents
Taylor Scott, Directed Research Group, UW, Spring 2016
Lead a small team of students in defining a research question, developing a research plan, the qualitative coding of data, and work on authoring a literature review.
Seaflow Oceanography Data Visualization
Bill Howe, eScience Institute, UW, Spring 2012, Research Assistant
Prototyped an interactive visualization tool to enable a team of oceanographers to examine and generate insight from a large, multivariate data set.
Cognitive Design Studio
Jim Hollan, DCOG/HCI Lab, UCSD, Spring 2010, Coursework
Lead a five-person team that researched, evaluated, and incorporated user-centered data as part of the rapid contextual design process to redesign lecturer presenter tools that allow for mobility and robust
information flow control while teaching.
Collaborative Online Video Ethnography (COVE) System Design
David Kirsh, Interactive Cognition Lab, UCSD, 2009-2011
Worked with a team of students that leveraged user-centered design techniques and Agile web development to build a tool for accessing and analyzing a large corpus of ethnographic video data.
Cognitive Ethnography
Edwin Hutchins, DCOG/HCI Lab, UCSD, 2009-2010, Coursework
Examined directly how cognition occurs in everyday, real-world settings. Composed a series of research papers examining the nature of cognition as it relates to skill development, cultural practices, and their related artifact systems.
