Biography

I am a 5th year HCDE (Human-Centered Design and Engineering) PhD student at the University of Washington, advised by David McDonald and Gary Hsieh. I am actively collaborating with Nur Yildirim and Mandi Hall on the topic of strategic innovation practices. I have 6+ years of experience in mixed-method end-to-end HCI research and design. (UX Research Portfolio)

My research interest is in developing and evaluating AI-driven UX design feedback tools using mixed-method approaches. Specifically, I am interested in the use of generative AI to support and/or facilitate usability testing, how to measure the usefulness and quality of LLM-generated feedback, and how to design tools to represent these outputs to UX practitioners.

Previously, I have been a research intern at Microsoft Research with Mandi Hall. I have conducted HCI research at GT SPUD (Security, Privacy, Usability and Design) Lab under the supervision of Dr. Sauvik Das during my undergrad. I have also interned at Berkeley SETI Research Center, building ML-based pipelines in astrophysics under the supervision of Dr. Andrew Siemon and Dr. Steve Croft.
