Teaching Statement EDIJ Statement
I am a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researcher committed to empowering people through learning by helping people gain insights from sources ranging from personal data to online information. I draw on my expertise in HCI, Learning Sciences, and Information Visualization to design experiences that enhance understanding and decision-making while tackling complex or unfamiliar topics.
