I recently joined the computing sciences faculty at Elon University after spending two years as a member of the computer science faculty at Bowling Green State University. At Bowling Green I taught a variety of courses, from undergraduate Usability Engineering to Graduate Algorithms to Programming for non-majors (both as on online class and a classroom-based class). At Bowling Green I conducted research on visual password systems and multi-display interaction.

Prior to my time as a faculty member, I attended Georgia Institute of Technology as a member of the Information Interfaces Lab, where I received a Ph.D. in computer science in 2006. I completed by undergraduate work at Baldwin-Wallace College, where I received a B.S. in computer science and mathematics in 2000. I have also held a number of summer internship and scholarship positions, including work at Microsoft Research, Miami University, and Interactive Payer Network, now operating as Emdeon.

I welcome the opportunity to conduct research with undergraduate students and encourage students to contact me through one or more the of channels listed above to discuss research projects and other opportunities. While my focus is on usability, human-computer interaction, and information visualization, I am willing to advise a very wide variety of research endeavors.
