Jacobs Executive Committee
Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley and a Visiting Faculty Resesarcher at Google Research. Before joining UC Berkeley, I spent three wonderful years (Spring 2022-Spring 2025) as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin.
I was previously a postdoc at Carnegie Mellon University, a Research Scientist at Apple, and I received my PhD from UC Berkeley EECS. I regularly teach a Computer Science class that covers the design and development of user interfaces (Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction). Prior versions include CS160 at UC Berkeley in 2018 and CS378 at UT Austin in 2022.
