Broad Research Area: HCI / CSCW

Research Interests:

I am looking for a postdoc for either of two current projects. The first concerns how to better support public engagement and participation in interacting with government. The second concerns improving public transit usability and satisfaction, particularly by providing real-time arrival information, and assessing the effects — see www.onebusaway.org. We are also interested specifically in how to better support deaf blind transit riders with such systems.
