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
Dan Schwartz, Scott Klemmer, and Jeff Heer.
I am an active member in Stanford's HCI program.
My research interests are in the social spread of web search expertise. I am interested in how search expertise accrues
and my work posits that search and communication tools must be designed to enable learning by observation, modeling, and
apprenticeship. This must be enabled in collocated as well as distributed environments.
Current: PhD student at Stanford University's Learning Sciences and Technology Design program.
Prior: Associal Researcher, Asia Center for Interaction Design, Microsoft Research Asia, Beijing, China.
Prior: Masters in Human-Computer Interaction, Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science.
Prior: Bachelors in Computer Science at the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory, University of Maryland at College Park.
