I am an Assistant Professor in Informatics in the School of Information and Computer Sciences and in the Department of Education at UC Irvine. My research interests are in human-computer interaction, ubiquitous computing,assistive and educational technologies and medical informatics. I am specifically interested in the ways in which people keep records, document their everyday lives, and constitute their identities, clincial and educational categories, and so on through these records. I direct the social and technological action research (STAR) group. I am affiliated with theLaboratory for Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction , the Center for Ethnography, the Center for Biomedical Informatics, the Center for Research on Information Technology & Organizations, the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, the Institute for Genetics and Bioinformatics and ACE program faculty. I am an alumna of the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech.
