I am an assistant professor at Northwestern University with a joint appointment in Computer Science and the Learning Sciences. My research interests center broadly around intersection of human-computer interaction and education with a focus on innovative and thoughtful uses of emerging technologies in learning settings. Some of my recent research projects have included an investigation of multi-touch tabletops in natural history museums and the use of tangible programming languages in kindergarten classrooms and science museums.
