PHD CANDIDATE · HCI AND AI RESEARCHER · GOOGLE PHD FELLOW
I am a PhD candidate in the Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology and a member of the Center for Accessibility and Inclusion Research (CAIR).
I am a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) researcher, who designs and evaluates human-AI collaborative tools that enhance usability analysis. I also lead and collaborate on accessibility projects that promote inclusive computing education and develop assistive technologies for diverse users. As one of only eight HCI Google PhD Fellows in 2023, I demonstrate the global impact of my research and my ability to secure highly competitive funding.
I'm on the job market this academic year! I'm actively exploring tenure-track assistant professor positions and research-focused industry roles. Looking forward to the next big step in my career!
