Research Staff Member
Almaden Research Center

  • I manage the Mobile Computing research group in IBM Research at the Almaden Research Center in the User Sciences & Experience Research (USER) group.
  • In a previous life, I was an Assistant Professor in the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I led the Personal Information Environments research group and co-directed the Adaptive Personalized Information Environments lab with Charles Isbell.
  • Interests: Mobile user experiences and interaction; supporting interaction across the multiple, heterogeneous devices that comprise the user's personal information environment; mixed-initiative interaction; adaptive interfaces; usable security
  • Current projects: Exploring how to design effective mobile user experiences and creating new point designs. For example, we've been rethinking mobile email clients.
