About
I am an incoming PhD student in Computer Science at Boston University, where I will be advised by Prof. Chang Xiao. My research lies at the intersection of human-computer interaction, extended reality (VR/AR/MR), and AI-human interaction. I build neuroadaptive and mixed-reality systems that extend human capabilities while preserving embodied unity.
I received my B.S. in Data Science from the University of Rochester, where I worked in the BEAR Lab with Prof. Yukang Yan. My work draws on philosophy, phenomenology, and sensing to explore how technology can extend human senses and actions without compromising selfhood.
