About Me

My name is Michael Jongseon Lee and I am a PhD candidate in the Information School at the University of Washington . I am being advised by Andrew J. Ko and a member of both the DUB Group and USE Group .

 

I received a Masters of Science in Information Science (MSIS) from the University of Washington and a Masters of Information Management and Systems (MIMS) from UC Berkeley . Prior to that, I worked as a software developer for the San Diego Supercomputer Center and received my B.S. in Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction from UC San Diego .

 

My major area of focus is in human-computer interaction (HCI). Within that field, I am interested in computational thinking and end-user programming. More specifically, I am interested in exploring factors that engage beginners to learn programming and dispel any negative preconceptions they may have about the skills being too difficult to obtain.
