I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Dynamic Graphics Project (DGP) Lab at the University of Toronto working with Tovi Grossman. Before joining DGP, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Design Lab and Creativity Lab at the University of California, San Diego working with Haijun Xia. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo where I was advised by Edith Law.

My research focuses on inventing novel interaction techniques and interfaces that support human-AI partnerships across diverse contexts. I am particularly interested in developing foundational frameworks and tools that fundamentally expand how we think, design, create, learn, and communicate.

The tools we use have a profound influence on our thinking habits, and, therefore, on our thinking abilities. - Edsger W. Dijkstra
First we shape tools, and thereafter, they shape us. - Marshall McLuhan
