I'm an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and (by courtesy) the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I run the Data Driven Design Group, where we research machine learning for effective user experiences and effective user experiences for machine learning.
I also serve as the Chief Research Scientist at UserTesting, where my team and I are building solutions for bridging quantitative and qualitative experience testing.
I received my BS and PhD from the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University. Based on my dissertation work, I co-founded Apropose, Inc., a data-driven design startup backed by Andreessen Horowitz and New Enterprise Associates.
