@IanArawjo Congratulations!!!

Today a miracle occurred: NSF issued an award notice to a collaborator and I through an NSF-NSERC grant we had submitted in February. 🤯 Nervously celebrating. Looks like I need to recruit more PhD students, and fast—students going to #UIST2025, reach out if you’d like to chat.
