Research Publications

My research broadly spans several areas, including designing screening assessments of cognitive function, modeling and understanding physical human activities, and enabling novel interaction techniques. I primarily publish in human-computer interaction (e.g., ACM CHI) and ubiquitous computing (e.g., PACM IMWUT) venues.
