About Me
I am a postdoctoral fellow working with Dr Ron Baecker as part of the Technology for Aging Gracefully Lab at the University of Toronto's Department of Computer Science. I am CIHR Fellow in Health Care, Technology, and Place (HCTP) and I am also affiliated with the Knowledge Media Design Institute.
I recently finished my PhD in human-computer interaction at the University of British Columbia (UBC), where I investigated methods for increasing the accessibility of pen-based techonology (such as Tablet Pcs) for older adults, under the supervision of Dr Joanna McGrenere. This research was supported by a three-year NSERC postgraduate scholarship and through a CIHR operating grant. During my PhD, I was twice an intern at IBM TJ Watson working with Shari Trewin and Vicki Hanson. I have a M.Sc. in Computer Science (UBC 2004) and a B.A.Sc. in Computer Engineering (UBC 2001).
