Irvine, CA
Hello and welcome! I am currently a senior Informatics student at the UC Irvine, specializing in Human-Computer Interaction and minoring in Information and Computer Sciences. Alongside my studies, I am actively involved in undergraduate research at the Social & Technological Action Research (STAR) Lab, advised by Dr. Jesus Armando Beltran Verdugo, Dr. Franceli Cibrian, and Dr. Gillian Hayes. During the summer of 2024, I completed a stint as an Undergraduate Research Intern at UC Berkeley at the EPIC Data Lab advised by Dr. Yiming Lin and Dr. Aditya Parameswaran.
Broadly, my current research interests include Human-Computer Interaction, Ubiquitous Computing, and Machine Learning in the domain of Assistive Technology. More specially, I aim to empower individuals with disabilities by developing accessible and interactive technologies that help them overcome physical and cognitive barriers in their daily lives.
