   about me...

My name is Tom Ouyang and I am a graduate student in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT. My research interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human computer interaction. I collaborate with my advisor Randall Davis in the Design Rationale Group, working on applications in sketch recognition and pen based interfaces. Previously I worked with Ken Forbus in the Qualitative Reasoning Group at Northwestern University on analogical reasoning and problem solving.
