I am a Postdoc Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute. My research is situated at the intersection of human-computer interaction, learning sciences and design. I use participatory methods to design technology for teaching and learning, with a focus on classroom orchestration and collaborative learning.
