PhD Student and Researcher
I am a PhD student in the Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology. I am a member of the Center for Accessibility and Inclusion Research (CAIR). I also serve on the trainee council for the AWARE-AI NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program.
My research explores the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and User Experience (UX). I design, evaluate, and improve human-AI collaborative tools to support usability and UX analysis. Other topics that I investigate include how to infuse accessibility into computing courses and how to make technology more accessible for older adults.
