Hello!👋
I am Lisa, an 3rd year Ph.D. student at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. I am advised by Professor Richard Anderson in the ICTD Lab.
My research interests are HCI (human-computer interaction) and ICTD (information and communication technology for development). My research interests are in the global health + technology space, specifically examining the role and potential of mobile devices for enhancing healthcare quality and work practices in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
I received my Bachelor’s from Wellesley College, where I double majored in Computer Science and Philosophy.
I am currently funded by the Quad Fellowship. During 2021-2023, I was funded by The Funai Foundation for Information Technology.
