I'm a first year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University, with the Human-Computer Interaction group.
I recently graduated from the University of California, San Diego, with a B.S. in Computer Science. I was advised by Jim Hollan and, as part of my senior honors thesis, I explored how multiple users could naturally interact with wall-sized displays.
Also, at Revelle College, I helped establish an internship program and served as a member of student government, a Resident Advisor, an Orientation Leader and as an undergraduate representative on a number of campus-wide committees.
A while back, I developed plugins and wrote articles for Movable Type, and helped fork Melody.

A Platform for Large Scale Machine Learning on Web Design
The Web is an enormous and diverse repository of design examples. Although people often draw from extant designs to create new ones, existing Web design tools do not facilitate example reuse in a way that captures the scale and diversity of the Web. To do so requires using machine learning techniques to train computational models which can be queried during the design process. In this work-in-progress, we present a platform necessary for doing such large-scale machine learning on Web designs, which consists of a Web crawler and proxy server to harvest and store a lossless and immutable snapshot of the Web; a page segmenter that codifes a page's visual layout; and an interface for augmenting the segmentations with crowdsourced metadata.
Using Overlays to Support Collaborative Interaction with Display Walls
Large-scale display walls, and the high-resolution visualizations they support, promise to become ubiquitous. Natural interaction with them, especially in collaborative environments, is increasingly important and yet remains an on-going challenge. Part of the problem is a resolution mismatch between low-resolution input devices and high-resolution display walls. In addition, enabling concurrent use by multiple users is difficult. In this paper, we present an overlay interface element superimposed on wall-display applications to help constrain interaction, focus attention on subsections of a display wall, and facilitate collaborative multi-user workflow.
