I'm a fourth-year graduate student in engineering psychology at Georgia Tech. During my first two years, I conducted and proposed research in the area of visual depth perception. However, by the end of my second year I realized that the area in which I ultimately wanted to work was in human-computer interaction (HCI). In particular I became interested in software design. For my current Master's research I'm exploring whether the design of computer tutors can be improved by using a method of learning known as goal directed guided exploration.

For the past year, I've also been working with an interdisciplinary group in the GVU Center at Georgia Tech. The group has a grant from the Office of Naval Research to examine the role of cognitive multimedia in educational technology. I've included a brief description of the work I've done on the ChemLab program for this group below as well.
