Welcome

My team is working our CHI student design competition submission. Once it has been submitted I will post the paper and summary in the portfolio section. I think we have an interesting take on the competition and hope we will be selected.

I am in an analysis/planning of my next steps area of my capstone research. Over break I looked through the results of my international student survey. I found some interesting results and I have an idea for a paper. I have a bit of it written but I am not sure if I will make the CHI deadline with this one due to the concentration on the design competition.

Selvan Thandapani, another HCI student, and I are working on a research paper with Professor Erik Stolterman. The paper looks at tools and models practitioners use. We are waiting to hear back as to whether the abstract has been selected for a conference this summer.

Many of you have probably noticed a slight site revision. For blog readers it is a pretty major change for those of you looking at my portfolio site it is a header change and some content tweaks.

I decided to put my blog as my homepage since it was easier to post updates about my current research and other topics I find important.

I believe I have all of the bugs worked out but if you spot anything please send me a note.
