Background
- A Human-Centered Computing researcher studying how everyday human signals can be captured, modeled, and translated to make interactive AI systems reflect and respond to human experience. Using techniques from Systems, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and Machine Learning (ML), I develop methods to sense and interpret human variability and context shifts in cognition, presence, and collaboration.
Miscellany
- Invited talks at ECE, Duke University, AT&T Labs, Meta Headquarters, IMMERSE Symposium’25 at UIUC, Nokia Bell Labs.
