Rhema's research focuses on understanding and designing spaces for creative work and play. He is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville at the PAIRS group.
His work includes ethnographic inquiries, experiments, and novel interfaces for activities such as data visualization, grounded theory, idea generation and articulation, and social media.
At Adobe Research with Eunyee Koh, his internship projects developed analysis and visualization of big data. At Microsoft Research, two internships with Jaime Teevan and Shamsi Iqbal focused on applying crowdsourcing and Machine Learning for writing.
