Brazil 2006:  Enjoying nature :).

Hi!  I am a first year Ph.D. student at the Human Computer Interaction Institute in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.  My research interests lie in using social computing to motivate and encourage positive behaviors.  Currently, I am researching how to motivate environmentally sustainable behaviors via social websites.  My plans in the future are to explore environmentally sustainable behaviors across ethnic and socioeconomic groups.  I am being advised by Jennifer Mankoff.

 

I  hold an M.S. in Computer Science from the Oregon Graduate Institute School of Science and Engineering at the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, OR.  I also hold a B.S. in Computer Engineering from North Carolina State University.   I have extensive software engineering experience after 7 years of industry experience at Intel Corporation.
