Currently, I am a PhD student at the Northwestern University Technology and Social Behavior program (joint degree in Computer Science and Communication). I work in the CollabLab, and my research is advised by Dr. Darren Gergle.

I am an HCI researcher and architect bridging design, technology, and the social sciences. I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from Columbia University, where I completed a thesis in HCI and spent three years doing research with the Columbia HCI labs and Snap's HCI research group. Before that, I practiced architecture for five years at Meier Partners, the firm behind the Getty Center in Los Angeles, and I remain a licensed Architect in New York State. I also hold a Bachelor of Architecture from Pratt Institute. I have founded two startups, and in my free time I enjoy nature, art, and chasing unexpected ideas.

My research asks what assistive technologies could become if designed around people's unique cognitive processes rather than around the tasks they are expected to complete.

• Process-oriented technology paradigms — Developing theoretical frameworks and technological paradigm shifts that center diverse perceptual processes and cognitive strategies in assistive technology design, drawing on Capabilities Approach theory and critical disability scholarship.
• Analogical problem-solving under uncertainty — Investigating how people navigate uncertainty with partial or conflicting information, and how AI systems can scaffold the transition from exploration to decision-making, through the lens of analogical reasoning.
