About
I am a first-year PhD student at UMich CSE advised by Anhong Guo and
Venkatesh Potluri.
I am affiliated with the Human-AI Lab (HAIL) and IDEA (Intelligent Developer Experiences for Accessibility) Lab.
Prior to joining Michigan for my PhD, I was supported by CRA DREU to join Human-AI Lab (HAIL) here as a summer research intern. I have also previously done research at the University of Washington Allen School as part of the Make4All lab through the DUB REU and at the Carnegie Mellon Human Computer Interaction Institute as part of the Social AI Group and the CATS Lab through the HCII REU.
In May 2025, I earned my Bachelor's degree from Grinnell College with majors in Computer Science (w/ honors) and Sociology (w/ honors) and a concentration in Statistics.
Research
My current research focuses on AI approaches for personal accessibility, that is:
How might personal devices such as smart phones and wearables be used in conjunction with AI systems to facilitate individualized accessibility experiences that empower agency and autonomy?
I am particularly drawn to user-centric, participatory methods such as iterative co-design. I value techniques that empower simultaneous rigorous system building and end-user understanding.
Specifically, my current active project involves empowering the creation of bespoke assistive technology using conversational programming techniques. This project is in its early stages, so check back soon for more information!
