Research Interests:
My research interests focus on ways to create easier to use software tools.
To understand how to make software tools easier to use, I conduct studies of programmers and end-users using existing software tools and create cognitive models of tool use. I also work with people who are designing and developing new software tools to help them create tools which are easy to use.
I am also interested in providing tools and methodologies that allow designers who do not have a background in psychology of programming to use psychological theories to guide their design choices.
