I am an associate professor in Informatics and Director of Informatics Undergraduate Studies at Indiana University – Bloomington.  I am interested in integrating pervasive technologies in health and wellness environments to study how technology affects interventions. My research interests include human computer interaction, ubiquitous computing, and health informatics. I am the coordinator of the prototyping lab in Informatics. Prior to returning to IU, I led the Wellness Innovation and Interaction Lab. (Formal Bio).
