I am a 4th-year Ph.D. candidate in the Information School at the University of Washington, advised by Prof. Jacob O. Wobbrock. Prior to that, I received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Science with an additional major in Human-Computer Interaction and minors in Statistics and Machine Learning at Carnegie Mellon University, where I worked with Prof. Jeffrey P. Bigham and Prof. Anhong Guo.

I'm broadly interested in human-computer interaction and accessibility. My work seeks to enable computer technologies to understand the varying abilities of their users, and to design, implement, and evaluate tools to make technologies accessible and personalized by adapting to these abilities. Specifically, my work focuses on:

  • Quantitative characterization of human abilities through user input behavior and sensor data;
  • Mixed-initiative interface adaptations based on user abilities.
