Hello! My name is and I am a PhD candidate in the HCI Engineering Group at MIT. My research has been generously supported by the 2019 MIT Stata Family Presidential Fellowship and 2021 Siebel Scholars Award.

In my research, I consolidate my artistic and technical backgrounds to develop expressive technologies: tools that enhance human creative skills by making complex processes more accessible to novices and expanding the capabilities available to experts. Currently, I investigate this through the lens of personal fabrication technologies, with a focus on end-to-end design tools and fabrication processes that produce dynamic physical media that responds to external stimuli. I am especially interested in understanding how artistic insight can bolster the development of creative technologies that exist both on and off the screen.

Outside of research, I love to draw, play (sometimes in a band), and sporadically compose!

📣 I am on the job market! I am eager to find opportunities in academia or industry that allow me to continue developing the future of creative tools. Feel free to reach out!
