I’m a 5th year PhD Student at the Carnegie Mellon Human-Computer Interaction Institute, advised by Professor Jeffrey Bigham. My research is 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 machine learning and sensing to automatically optimize existing UIs by i) inferring user ability, ii) automatically uncovering application semantics of existing apps, and iii) generating customized interfaces for existing apps.
