About Me

I am a Staff Software Engineer at Google (YouTube). My broader research interests include adaptive user interfaces and human performance.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Tufts University, where I was advised by Professor Robert Jacob at the Tufts Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Lab. My dissertation focused on brain-computer interfaces and using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) for adaptive systems. I also studied visualization and collaborated with Remco Chang and the Visual Analytics Lab at Tufts.

I hold a B.A. in Cognitive Science with minors in Psychology and Computer Science from the University of Pennsylvania, and an M.S. in Computer Science from The George Washington University.

Previously, I worked at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in the Warfighter Human System Integration Laboratory. There, I developed immersive virtual environment training systems for Marine Corps infantry and researched physiological measurements of performance.

In my free time, I enjoy cycling around the Bay Area, crossword puzzles, and hiking.
