Hi! I am a Ph.D. Candidate and a Human-Computer Interaction researcher, advised by Prof. Dhruv Jain. I am a part of the Soundability Lab at Michigan CSE.

My research focuses on human-AI collaboration in accessibility. Specifically, I study how AI can adapt to individual needs and contexts, giving people meaningful control over how they access, interpret, and respond to the world around them.
