Research Interests

Human-computer interaction; health; behavioral science; machine learning + design


My research focuses on using human-computer interaction methods to design and evaluate technologies to support longitudinal health needs. My work provides a model for using user-centered design to create personalized and adaptive interventions- tools that will adapt content, resources, and interactions to a person’s evolving health status and health questions.
