Health disparities are, in some dimensions, a problem of information access. My research sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, human computer interaction and education to advance cancer health equity through purposeful information presentation: That is, every resource should provide a unique piece of information that is potentially useful and on-point with a particular topic or event. Check out these projects:
Previous projects:Tell Me More: Purposeful News Filtering System and Virtual Peers
Some of these projects have been on the national and international press: Check my interview with Le Monde,L'Atelier and this article in the New Scientist.

I got my undergraduate degree in Systems Engineer and Informatics at Universidad Diego Portales in Santiago, Chile. A masters degree in Computer Science at DePaul University with a concentration in AI; I got a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the Infolab, in the Computer Science department of Northwestern University. Other interests include: Computational linguistics and enhancing social interactions with technology that can help make a difference, such as intelligent tutoring systems and other aspects of AI applied to the education of children. In the past I worked developing Virtual Peers for minority children with Justine Cassell at the ArticuLab.
