Bio: I am an Associate Professor of Computer Science in the Software and Societal Systems Department in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. I am also affiliated with the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. I am an Affiliate Professor at the Information School at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, USA..

From January 2006 until June 2022, I was a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research in Redmond, WA, USA.

I run the VariAbility Lab. Our research mission is to create inclusive workplaces where all people, especially those with disabilities and the neurodivergent, can be successful, without discrimination. Our current research projects focus on creating accommodative physical work environments, collaboration tools that facilitate communication between people with differing abilities, and educational programs that teach communication skills and improve social relationships between team members.
