I am a Presidential Honors Scholar studying Computer Science at NYU’s Courant Institute with a minor in Mathematics. As a Research Assistant at NYU’s Immersive Computing Lab, I work on problems at the intersection of computer graphics, human perception, and machine learning. My work is driven by the commitment to ensure technology is developed with the needs of its users in mind and by the desire to reshape who gets to participate in and benefit from technological innovation.

I recently had the opportunity to co-present our paper “PaleoScan: Low-Cost Easy-to-use High-Volume Fossil Scanning” at ACM CHI 2024 in Honolulu, Hawaii, alongside João Rulff!

It was so exciting to be able to share PaleoScan with researchers from around the world and engage in conversations about accessible technology for scientific research.

You can read the full paper in the ACM Digital Library and watch our video presentation. More details are also available on my publications page.
