Greetings! I am a Professor of
human-computer interaction (HCI)
in
The Information School
and,
by courtesy, in the
Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering
at the
University of Washington,
where I direct the
ACE Lab
and co-direct the
CREATE Center.
I am also a founding member of the
DUB Group and the
MHCI+D degree.
My Ph.D. students
come from
information science and
computer science.
My research seeks to
scientifically understand people's experiences of computers and information,
and
to improve those experiences by inventing new interactive technologies,
especially for people with disabilities.
My specific research interests include
input & interaction techniques,
human performance measurement & modeling,
HCI research & design methods,
mobile computing,
and
accessible computing.
For my contributions to accessible computing, I received the
2017 SIGCHI Social Impact Award
and the
2019 SIGACCESS ASSETS Paper Impact Award.
In 2019, I was inducted into the prestigious
CHI Academy.
My work has received
25 paper awards,
including
7 best papers
and
8 honorable mentions
from the
CHI conference.
Some of my notable projects are
the $-family gesture recognizers,
the end-user elicitation design method,
the Slide Rule design for accessible touchscreen gestures,
ARTool for nonparametric factorial statistical analyses,
the Pointing Magnifier 2 assistive pointing and visual aid,
and the versatile EdgeWrite text entry system.
I have also been an entrepreneur. In 2012, I co-founded
AnswerDash,
where I was a venture-backed C.E.O. for about three years.
In 2020, AnswerDash was acquired by
CloudEngage.
My conversations with
The New York Times
and
The Huffington Post
capture some of my experiences as a startup founder.
