In the age of AI, it becomes ever more important to focus on solutions that leverage the best of human cognition and machine intelligence. To this end, my work is in the fields of Human-Computer Interaction and crowdsourcing, focusing on topics such as digital health and personal data management. We conduct research with authentic end users in collaboration with hospitals and clinics, and leverage both off-the-shelf solutions as well as bespoke technologies we develop for different field studies.
