My research field is Data Visualization and Human-Computer Interaction, understanding and supporting how humans perceive and interact with data. I try to combine cognitive science and computing to better support human-AI interaction.
I'm currently a 2nd-year PhD student advised by Cindy Xiong Bearfield. I've also interned at Tableau Research @ Salesforce
in Summer 2025, where I worked with Srishti Palani and Arjun Srinivasan.
