About me:

In the fall of 2009, I am teaching CPSC 310 and working on curriculum development for CPSC 210. In the past I have also taught CPSC 101, CPSC 121, and CPSC 211.

I completed my Masters degree in September, 2006.  For my thesis research, I worked in the Imager Laboratory for Graphics, Visualization and HCI under the supervision of Joanna McGrenere in the area of Human Computer Interaction.  My thesis work is part of the Aphasia Project, a multi-disciplinary research project aimed at determining how technology can support people with aphasia in their daily lives.
