Descriptions of my projects are also available. I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Learning Sciences and Technology Design program at Stanford University's School of Education. My advisor is Roy Pea. I also work with Stanford's HCI program and dschool. My interests are in social technologies for use in education and learning, especially in developing countries. Before Stanford, I was an Associate Researcher with Microsoft Research Asia's Center for Interaction Design in Beijing, China. Before that, I got my Masters in Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University. Before that, I studied Computer Science and HCI at the University of Maryland at College Park.
