I am a Computer Science Ph.D. student 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 is grounded in the understanding of human perception. I build multisensory interfaces to bring new perspectives on everyday, mundane interactions and explore psychological benefits of these sensory augmentations, such as empathy 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.
