I am an Associate Professor in the departments of Communication Studies and Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (by courtesy) at Northwestern University. I also direct the CollabLab: The Laboratory for Collaborative Technology.
My research is in the fields of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) with an interest in developing a theoretical understanding of the role that visual information plays in supporting communication and small group interactions. A key component of my work is the application of social and cognitive psychology theory to the design, deployment and evaluation of computing technologies.
I also direct and interact with a number of different programs at Northwestern University:
- Faculty Associate of the Northwestern University Cognitive Science Program
- Fellow of the Communications Residential College (CRC)
- Director of the CollabLab: The Laboratory for Collaborative Technology
- Director of the Mobile Tracking Lab shared facility
