I'm an assistant professor at the Information School at the University of Washington. I direct the use research group. We study human aspects of software development with the aim of inventing technologies that help software teams be more user-centered. I am also a core member of the dub group, the cross-campus human-computer interaction research and education coalition at UW. The goal of my research is for software evolution to be driven more by human needs and values than technological constraints. To do this, I study the human processes by which human desires get translated into code, including design, bug reporting, bug triage, issue tracking, technical support, help systems, debugging, bug finding, usability engineering, and end-user programming. In studying these phenomena, my goal is to invent tools and techniques that make it easier to design software that facilitates human endeavors
