MS Dissertation title: Urban forecast: An analysis of a crowdsourced mobile app for crisis management
MS Advisor(s): Stephen Gilbert
Area of MS research: This thesis presents a tool called Urban Forecast that can help citizens avoid dangerous locations and events by posting it on a map in the application and having it notify every other user around that area
Employment upon graduating:
Lead Designer
Sixth Edge
West Des Moines, IA
Current activity: Plan, test, design, test, implement, test, repeat
What HCI classes were invaluable to my success?
Advanced Design Communication (ArtGR 501) - Not really a HCI course but this class really had an effect on my thinking.
Favorite graduate school memory: The ups and downs of creating and establishing the UX Lab.
HCI issues that interest me: Designing for social impact, designing beyond usability
A website recommend, and why: http://alistapart.com/
I would consider A List Apart a top tier journal for the web industry. Very intelligent people writing about design, development and web content.
