My research focuses on using machine learning to improve human-machine interactions.
In 2024, I graduated with an M.S. in Computer Science and a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. Before that, I was a full-time research associate at Center for Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Robotics conducting research on social cognition module for assistive robots.
My expertise includes data science, AI, ML, conducting research on human-machine interaction.
