I am a researcher at Yahoo! Research Berkeley lab. In general my work focusses on mobile media and developing new methods to infer the content and context surounding media. This fits in well with the work I did at the Garage Cinema Research Group in UC Berkeley. As a member of the Mobile Media Metadata (MMM) project, I developed ways to leverage contextual metadata collected at a group event to to infer information about both the event and the attendees.

I graduated from the HCI masters program at the Graphics Visualization & Usability Center, in the Georgia Institute of Technology. While at Georgia Tech I was a graduate research assistant for my advisor, Dr. Elizabeth Mynatt, in the Everyday Computing Lab, as well as a Research Intern at Ricoh Innovations, Inc. After graduating, I worked as a Verification Engineer at the Panasonic Wireless Design Center on the Basic Acceptance Testing (BAT) of the X700 Smartphone.

To learn more about my past projects please visit my projects page or my resume. My blog is avalable here.

The two main projects that I am currently working on are Zonetag and TagMaps.
