About Me

I am a software engineer at Google (YouTube) working on user-facing GenAI tools. My broader research interests include adaptive user interfaces and human performance.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2015 at Tufts University with Professors Robert Jacob and Remco Chang at the Tufts Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Lab, focusing on brain-computer interfaces and using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) for adaptive systems. I also studied visualization and collaborated with the Visual Analytics Lab at Tufts.

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a B.A. in Cognitive Science with minors in Psychology & Computer Science and Engineering in 2005. I received an M.S. in Computer Science from The George Washington University in 2009.

From 2005 to 2010 I worked at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in the Warfighter Human System Integration Laboratory, working on immersive virtual environment training systems for Marine Corps infantry training and researching physiological measurements of performance.
