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 open to tenure-track faculty positions and research-oriented industry roles.
