About me I am a User Experience Researcher working as an Excell Data contractor in the MSN User Experience group at Microsoft. Previously I was a researcher at
Palo Alto Research Center, working
in the Augmented Social Cognition Group.
I got my Ph.D. in Computer
Science at Carnegie Mellon
University. Then I was a postdoc in the Department of Psychology at CMU,
working with John
Anderson in the ACT-R
group. My home country is Romania.
