I’m a recent graduate in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. My primary research interests are at the intersection of sensor systems, data management and HCI. Specifically, I design tools and data management infrastructure to support users in understanding and interacting with context-aware computing systems. My research is also strongly oriented toward user studies with web-based, mobile and sensor research platforms. A side interest has been in techniques for privacy protection in context-aware applications.

   I have a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of Toronto. and an M.S. in Computer Science & Engineering from the University of Washington. I’ve worked for both Intel Research and Microsoft Research and I’m currently the lead graduate student on the RFID Ecosystem project. I’m advised by Prof. Magdalena Balazinska and Prof. Gaetano Borriello.

News & Recent Work

	7/10: I'm now at Nokia Research Palo Alto! I'll link to a Nokia homepage when available.
	6/10: Talk at NSF SSEI IGERT: I gave an invited talk on Cascadia and the RFID Ecosystem at the sensor science summer institute at the University of Maine. Lots of intersting speakers from industry, academia, and law.
	5/10: I gave a talk on Panoramic at Pervasive 2010 in Helsinki, Finland. You can check out the complete program here.
	Autumn '09: I'm working on a web-based tool that allows end-users to understand and verify the behavior of complex location events. This tool could be used to reduce software tuning and deployment costs in emerging real-time location systems for domains like hospitals. Update: Our Pervasive 2010 paper on this work has been accepted!
	7/09: I was recently a panelist speaking on RFID and privacy at the mid-year meeting of the American Bar Association's Committee on Technology in the Practice and Workplace.
	6/09: MobiSys 2009 in Krakow, Poland! I presented our paper "Longitudinal Study of a Building Scale RFID Ecosystem." This work summarizes and analyzes measurements from a long term study in the RFID Ecosystem.
