I am a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech who is working towards a PhD in the area of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and agile software development. My advisor is D. Scott McCrickard, an associate professor and co-founder of the VTURCS undergraduate research program.

My interests are in design processes that combine usability engineering processes and tools with software engineering methodologies to support the efficient development of usable software systems. I am currently developing and evaluating an engineering process that combines extreme programming and scenario-based usability engineering. This research leverages my past work on a digital representation of a system image, which links a designer's understanding of a system to a user's understanding of a system to support iterative development processes, HCI knowledge reuse, and communication among project stakeholders. I have also developed an analytic evaluation method, specifically targeted for notification systems, that has been used in an educational setting to teach analytic evaluations to novice interface developers.
