I am a PhD student (since Fall 2008) in the Computer Science department at Stanford, advised by Pat Hanrahan.
My interests lie in visualization and human-computer interaction. I'm particularly interested in computer-aided graphic design. I graduated from the University of Washington
with a B.S. in Computer Science in June 2008.

Class Projects

Vispy (IE and Firefox, not compatiable with Chrome) is a demo app that augments visualizations produced by Vispedia with provenance/trust information. Two example visualizations, a map and a timeline, are included. A circle colored according to a trust score is appended to each data point. Users can view trust scores for the original visualization's encoding attributes (i.e. Latitude/Longitude, Color, etc.) by different metrics like who the authors of the source are, the quality of the source, and the directness of the path to the source data. This was a class project with Nam Wook Kim for the CS448 Visualization class.

PopulationVoyager is a project I worked on with Nam Wook Kim for the CS448 Visualization class. The app displays the U.S. population over time, across states and counties. The app consists of a stacked graph view and a map view. Type in a state/county or click on the map to see trends in population. Drag the timeline slider to view how U.S. territory boundaries have changed.
