About Me

Exploring the underlying causes of human behavior

I’m a masters student at Rice University studying Human-Computer Interaction + Human Factors with a profound interest in human-machine interaction, the perception-action relationship, and embodied cognition. During undergrad, I led cognitive ergonomics research for Lehigh's Multimodal Interaction Lab creating machine learning systems that work seamlessly with humans and improve over time. My course load provides familiarity with cognitive computing, philosophy, and the neurosciences, producing an interdisciplinary synthesis that helps me approach problems from many angles.
