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 and I also work with
Dan Schwartz, Scott Klemmer, and Sep Kamvar.
I am an active member in Stanford's HCI program.
My research interests are in cognitive and associated behavioral changes in the context of learning and expertise development. I study, design, and
build socio-technical systems that empower learners to develop expertise. I am currently focused on investigating web search expertise: what it
means, and how it can be developed using socially-augmented technology designs.
Prior: Research intern at Google HQ working with Dan Russell on search expertise and influencing
behavior.

Morris, Dan Morris, and Mary
Czerwinski on a search instruction environment.
Prior: Associate Researcher, Asia Center for Interaction Design, Microsoft Research
Asia, Beijing, China.
Prior: Masters in Human-Computer Interaction, Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science.
Prior: Bachelors in Computer Science at the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory, University of Maryland at
College
Park.
