      Hi, my name is Alex! I am currently a post-doc researcher in the <a href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/">School of Computer Science and Engineering</a> at the University of Washington and <a href="https://sagebionetworks.org/">Sage Bionetworks</a>.
    </p>
    <p>
      My goal in life is to be a global expert in mobile health. 
      My dissertation research focused on the creation of mobile apps that make subjective health measures more objective through the use of smartphone sensors. 
      I am now interested in making such apps useful for ordinary people. 
      This includes adding real-time guidance to testing procedures, leveraging passive sensing to improve the test results, and helping developers ensure their tests will be well-received.
      Outside of my research in mobile health, I work in other areas of ubiquitous computing and human-computer interaction like mobile interaction and novel sensing.
    </p>
    <p>
      During my PhD career, I was advised by <a href="https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~shwetak/"><NAME></a> in the <a href="https://ubicomplab.cs.washington.edu/">UbiComp</a> Lab and <a href="http://faculty.washington.edu/wobbrock/"><NAME></a> in the <a href="http://depts.washington.edu/acelab/">ACE Lab</a>. 
      I completed my undergraduate studies at Duke University with a double major in <a href="http://ece.duke.edu/">Electrical Engineering</a> and <a href="http://www.cs.duke.edu/">Computer Science</a>.
      Through the <a href="http://pratt.duke.edu/undergrad/students/research-independent-study/research-fellows">Pratt Fellows</a> program, I had the opportunity to research in the <a href="http://synrg.csl.illinois.edu/">SyNRG</a> Lab led by <a href="http://croy.web.engr.illinois.edu/"><NAME></a>.
