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 Stanford's HCI program and dschool. 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.
