Brief Bio

I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the School of Engineering and Applied Science, Harvard. I completed my B.Sc. in Computer Science at Jacobs University Bremen, Germany in the Fall of 2008. My interests involve understanding the interaction between people and technology and how we can improve the technology according to people's needs. I am also interested in the interactions among people while using technology and understanding how technology influences people's behavior.


I am currently working under the supervision of Prof. Krzysztof Gajos, in the Intelligent Interactive Systems Group.

This site contains a description of my current research directions and past projects that I worked on.
