Pape is interested in the convergence of health and human-computer interaction. His research revolves around exploring the use of self-tracking informatics tools to assist individuals in achieving their health goals. Before his time at Dartmouth, he majored in Computer Science at Texas A&amp;M University (Go Aggies!). Outside of his academic pursuits, you can find Pape socializing with friends over drinks 🧉, playing soccer on the field ⚽, or indulging in a variety of online videos 📹.

Sprout

Dilemma of disclosure (Sprout extension)

This research examines collective contexts where data tracking and sensemaking practices may be socially motivated, collaboratively conducted, or otherwise extend beyond the single-user assumptions of typical personal informatics tools. Given graphical metaphors can be more familiar, relatable, and therefore meaningful to users as well as provide privacy-sensitive abstraction of data, we are also designing media representations for personal devices and public displays to explore questions around flexible interpretation, social connectedness, and data ephemerality.
