I was born in Bangkok, Thailand. Now I am a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science at the
University of Maryland, College Park since August 2007. I am also working as a research assistant at the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory. I previously worked at the Center for Advanced Transportation Technology Laboratory (CATTLab).

I am interested Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), especially in Information Visualization. My current project (Similan) starts from the idea of finding similar records from a given record in event sequence databases. Now we are extending Similan into a query-by-example interface, which users can draw what they are looking for and search for similar records.
