Background:
B.S. in Computer Science/French, UNC - Chapel Hill, 2005

Advisor(s):

Research Tags:
  • Ubiquitous Computing
  • HCI, esp. AI-based intelligent interfaces
  • Assistive Technology


Bio/Research Statement:
In past lives, I've worked as a political aide, gold miner, waiter, carpenter, singer, and technical salesperson/manager for large corporate and government accounts. These days, I'm finishing my M.S. in computer science (AI specialty) and working on my Ph.D. at the School of Information. My driving interest is in using computer science to improve people's lives.

Current Research:
My research involves ubiquitous computing to help individuals be more aware of, and better able to manage, their moods (particularly major depression). I also research dynamic, intelligent interfaces, especially to make computers easier to use by the disabled and/or elderly.

Jennifer Lee and son Aiden

Cal Lee (MSI '99, Ph.D. '05) is now an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina. At SI he distinguished himself with his research in the archives and records management field. In 2002, Lee was the first winner of the Paul Evan Peters Fellowship for graduate study in the information sciences or librarianship. The award is sponsored by the Coalition for Networked Information and "recognizes not only outstanding scholarship and intellectual rigor, but also civic responsibility, democratic values, and imagination, honoring the memory of CNI founding executive director Paul Evan Peters."
