Howdy!

I am a recent Software Engineering PhD graduate from CMU S3D advised by Prof. Haiyi Zhu as a part of the Social AI Lab. Currently, I research at the Human Computer Interaction Institute.

My research focuses on understanding and reshaping how disruptive technologies such as gig platforms interact with and impact worker and user communities, so as to design and promote more collective, safe and prosperous futures of work. To reach this objective, I employ grounded, multi-stakeholder approaches such as qualitative co-design and systems-building to develop technology probes that motivate transformative (pro)social behaviors, as well as more scalable quantitative empirical methods to observe effects of interventions and naturally-occurring phenomena.

This work has been recognized by the the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship as well as best paper awards at leading HCI conferences including ACM CHI, CHIWORK and UIST. My PhD has also been generously funded by the CMU Block Center for Technology and Society. Previously, I graduated Oberlin College magna cum laude with a BA in CS, Math, and Cognitive Science, as a STRONG and Clare Boothe Luce Scholar.
