My research focuses on designing and enabling productive and responsible computing technology to shape the future of work, living, and care.
My recent research interests include 1) making robotic technology more accessible to people with diverse backgrounds, 2) improving the quality of life for older adults, and 3) designing productive interaction strategies for AI systems to assist people.

Working with me
I am always looking for highly motivated students interested in human-computer interaction and/or robotics. However, I do not reply to any inquiries and/or comment on applicaiton materials. If you are interested in working with me, you need to apply to our
CS graduate program directly.
