I am a PhD student in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, advised by Dhruv Jain in the Soundability Lab.

My research focuses on human-AI collaboration for supporting participation and engagement in everyday environments. I build and deploy systems that help people navigate and make sense of complex sensory environments, and shape those environments around their needs — especially for people with disabilities.
