About Me

I am an incoming PhD student in Technology, AI and Society at Stony Brook University, within the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, where I will be advised by Ben Zhang.

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.
