I am a computer scientist conducting research in the areas of human-computer interaction (HCI), human-centered AI, human-AI interaction, computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), social computing, and accessibility. I am honored to have been recognized as an ACM Fellow and ACM SIGCHI Academy member for my contributions to HCI.
