I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Design Lab and Creativity Lab at the University of California, San Diego. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo where I was advised by Edith Law and was a member of the Human-Computer Interaction Lab.
With programming, data, and AI transforming every aspect of our lives and the tools we use, literacy in these areas is becoming a critical part of how we work, learn, and make sense of complex ideas and systems powered by them. I am interested in making them more accessible and leveraging them to augment our intelligence in areas such as learning, creativity, and sensemaking.
During my Ph.D., I explored this in the context of teaching programming. To help make sense of abstract concepts, languages, and procedures in programming, I explored how comics can be used to represent them in a concrete manner. Specifically, I introduced a new concept called coding strip, a form of comic strip with corresponding code, and developed tools for designing, creating, and using coding strips—design methods, creativity support tools, and visual programming environment.
