About me

I am a PhD Candidate of computer science with the Systopia Lab at The University of British Columbia and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Madonna University. My research interests include data provenance and computational reproducibility. I am currently exploring methods that make reproducibility more accessible for research programmers by using data provenance from different sources. I also dabble in evaluating how users can interact with and comprehend provenance data. I have previously worked on provenance-based debuggers, nano-satellite computer systems, geospatial public health analyses, and bringing technology to theater.
