I am an NIH-funded biomedical and health informatics postdoctoral fellow in UC Irvine's Institute for Clinical and Translational Science (ICTS). I am  the PI and Project Director of my on-going, national, multi-case study that explores the use of interactive technologies (e.g., telehealth, telerobots) for improved health services and outcomes.  My research encompasses strong interdisciplinary efforts between medicine, health informatics, education, and the technology industry. My research interests include telehealth, telerobots, health and human development, virtual services, human-technology interaction, and emerging technologies that facilitate improved health services and outcomes.
