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 Mobile & Accessible Design Lab. I am a founding member of the DUB Group and the Master of Human-Computer Interaction & Design program. My Ph.D. students come primarily from information science and computer science.

My research seeks to scientifically understand people's interactions with computers and information, and to improve those interactions through design and engineering, especially for people with disabilities. My specific research topics include input & interaction techniques, human performance measurement & modeling, HCI research & design methods, mobile computing, and accessible computing.

My work has received 22 paper awards, including 7 best papers and 8 honorable mentions from ACM's flagship CHI conference, for which I will serve as the General Co-Chair in 2020. For my work on Ability-Based Design, I received the 2017 ACM SIGCHI Social Impact Award. 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, and the EdgeWrite text entry system.

I have also been a tech entrepreneur and startup CEO. In this role, I was interviewed by The Huffington Post and The New York Times.
