I am a Computer Science Ph.D. student and Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford University, working on human-computer interaction. I am part of SHAPE Lab, advised by Prof. Sean Follmer. I also work closely with Prof. Jeremy Bailenson in Virtual Human Interaction Lab. My research touches on human perception and sensory illusion. Through augmenting sensory experiences with immersive media, I investigate new pathways to support daily interaction and mental well-being.

I obtained my MS at the University of Chicago, advised by Prof. Pedro Lopes, and BA at UNC-Chapel Hill with a double major in Journalism and Computer Science. Before jumping into academic research, I worked in product management and advertising.
