About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University, where I also earned my B.S. and M.S.E. degrees in Biomedical Engineering. My research is at the intersection of cognitive psychology, computer vision, and human-machine interaction, with the goal of enhancing human-machine synergy in healthcare. Guided by human-centered design and assurance principles, I aim to develop solutions that foster safe and effective collaboration between humans and advanced technologies.

I am a member of the ARCADE research group, led by Professor Mathias Unberath, and the ciis research group, led by Professor Russell H. Taylor.

My research has been published at international peer-reviewed journals and conferences, including IPCAI, MICCAI, HRI, and Computers in Biology and Medicine. For further details, please see my CV.

Since 2020, I have served every year as a teaching assistant or course assistant for Computer-Integrated Surgery I (CIS I) and Computer-Integrated Surgery II (CIS II).

I deeply value inclusive learning environments and actively engage in community outreach that welcomes individuals of all ages and diverse backgrounds. In my role within ARCADE and ciis labs, I have mentored graduate, undergraduate, and high school students. If you are interested in working with me, please feel free to reach out via email. I would love to connect with you!

Much of my time is spent wondering what the future of healthcare might hold—and musing about human nature and behavior along the way. When I’m not in research-mode, I find joy in cooking, baking, and painting.
