My interests lie at the intersection of human-computer interaction and machine learning. I'm fascinated by the amount of trust we place in automated algorithms without understanding how they affect interpersonal interactions online.

I've spent a bit of time as a research intern at Square, University of Southern California, and Cornell University.

Also: if you're an undergrad at Tech interested in research (especially if you're from a historically marginalized group), please reach out! I'm more than happy to chat about some of the opportunities here from the perspective of an undergrad.
