I direct the Mobile + Accessible Design Lab and co-chair the Master of Human-Computer Interaction + Design program. My research interests are input techniques (text entry, pointing, touch, gesture, voice, gaze), mobile user interfaces, human performance measurement and modeling, research and design methods, and computer access for people with disabilities. I have a special focus on what I call ability-based design, a design stance in which the abilities required to operate a technology are questioned, and systems are made operable by and adaptable to alternative abilities. See my CV. I am a scientist, inventor, and entrepreneur in the field of human-computer interaction. As a scientist, I study human behavior with interactive systems, and develop new methods for designing and evaluating interactive systems. As an inventor, I create and deploy new interactive systems for human use. As an entrepreneur, I co-founded AnswerDash and serve as its venture-backed CEO. AnswerDash enables online businesses to easily capture and answer questions from their customers, increasing sales, reducing support costs, and generating important insights about customer needs. My students come primarily from UW Ph.D. programs in information science and computer science. My students and I are active in the DUB Group. I have worked in industry and occasionally serve as an expert witness on intellectual property matters.
