I am a Ph.D. student in the Human-Centered Computing program at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My research focuses on how social applications and mobile technologies can support healthy lifestyle changes. My advisor is Professor Elizabeth Mynatt and I work in her everyday computing lab. In 2005, I received a B.S. in Computer Science from Cornell University. I spend much of my free time listening to electronic dance music and learning about financial markets.
This summer, I am interning in the Advanced Technology Lab at Adobe.
