Academic Achievements
- Published multiple papers, including 'Exploring Collaborative GenAI Agents in Synchronous Group Settings: Eliciting Team Perceptions and Design Considerations for the Future of Work' (CSCW 2025), 'Exploring the Design Space of Privacy-Driven Adaptation Techniques for Future Augmented Reality Interfaces' (CHI 2025), and 'Advancing Support for XR-Mediated Remote Collaboration on Physical Tasks' (2023 dissertation).
Research Experience
- Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan, working with Dr. Michael Nebeling in the Information Interaction Lab. Research projects include exploring collaborative GenAI agents, designing sensory-inclusive XR environments, and understanding trauma team dynamics during VR simulations.
Education
- PhD from UC San Diego, advised by Dr. Nadir Weibel, part of both the HXI Lab and the Design Lab. Dissertation focused on enhancing support for collaborative XR experiences that go beyond realism.
Background
- Mixed-methods researcher, studying how to leverage the spatial capabilities of extended reality (XR) and the analytical and generative capacities of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance collaborative intelligence and support complex teamwork. Particularly interested in building intelligent collaborative spaces that expand access to expertise and serve as cognitive aids while balancing computational augmentation with human agency in group settings.
Miscellany
- Previously worked with Meta Reality Labs, PwC, Microsoft, and Juniper Networks. Currently serves as an advisor and contributes to safety frameworks for medical XR at the X Reality Safety Initiative.
