I’m a Research Scientist in the Human-Centered Machine Intelligence group at Apple. I previously earned my PhD from the Carnegie Mellon Human-Computer Interaction Institute, advised by Professor Jeffrey Bigham. My PhD research was supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

Before I joined CMU, I graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2018 with a B.S. in Computer Science. There, I worked at the GT Ubicomp Lab and the Contextual Computing Group.

My research applies computational modeling to understand and improve how humans interact with computers.

I am joining Purdue CS as an assistant professor starting Spring 2026. I am looking to work with highly motivated students. Please contact me if you are interested! Apply by following the Purdue CS graduate admissions process.
