I have graduated from the Media Lab and I am currently working at g8four, a learning, design, and technology firm.The overall goal of my research is to foster intergroup understanding. Here, intergroup spans human diversity ranging from people of different gender, race, culture, ethnicity, age, economic class, and disability status. Drawing from ideas in social neuroscience, intergroup relations, and computer science, my specific research endeavors focus on the design and implementation of computational technologies that support human beings the development of empathic capacities. Further, because empathy is rooted in emotional self-awareness, much of my research is in the development of technologies to foster internal reflection on feelings.
