Master of Science in Computer Science @ Northwestern University

I am a first-year MSCS student at Northwestern University, specializing in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Ubiquitous Computing. My research focuses on intelligent interactive systems—how computational models can enhance human experiences through adaptive, context-aware technologies.

My work spans interaction modeling, multimodal data processing, and efficient ML-driven interfaces, aiming to bridge human-centered design with scalable computational methods. I am particularly interested in how ubiquitous sensing and AI-driven interaction can improve everyday computing environments.

I earned honors degrees in Computer Science and Informatics from UC Irvine, where I conducted research on information retrieval, interactive system design, and computational methods for behavioral analysis. I am currently exploring PhD opportunities for Fall 2026 to further my research in intelligent interaction and ubiquitous computing.
