About Me

I am a researcher working at the intersection of human-computer interaction, learning science, and AI-supported experience design. My work looks at how multimodal systems can support everyday learning and creation, with a focus on translation workflows, mixed-reality authoring, and responsible AI in educational settings.

Current projects include multi-agent frameworks for translation quality, spatial window management for productivity in extended reality, and data informed feedback loops for creative thinking.

Research keywords

Human-Computer Interaction, Multi-Modality AI, Adaptive Environments, Accessibility, Natural Language Processing, Learning Analytics.

I am actively seeking PhD opportunities starting in Fall 2026 in human-computer interaction. Please reach out if you would like to discuss possible work together.
