I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Columbia University working with Xuhai “Orson” Xu and Noémie Elhadad on multi-agent systems for Women’s health.

I prioritize building tools that enhance user agency and facilitate informed decisions about well-being in everyday contexts. This involves applying my expertise in human-computer interaction, AI, machine learning, statistical methods, and human physiology to a range of challenges, from designing novel multimodal health trackers to developing LLM-based agents for personalized goal creation and fulfillment.

I recieved my doctorate at the University of Toronto, advised by Khai N. Truong and Alex Mariakakis, where I focused on understanding how individuals engage with complex, multimodal personal data and developing user-centered designs and systems to help people navigate uncertainty and align tools with their diverse mental models. Previously, I completed my Bachelors and Masters in Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology where I worked with Thad Starner and Neha Kumar.

I am honored to have received several notable awards, including the Google PhD Fellowship, Wolfond Fellowship, and GVU Distinguished Masters Student Award.
