My primary research interests are at the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI) and digital fabrication. I develop hardware, software and material techniques that extend the capabilities of digital fabrication technology, and explore how they can be used for functional and creative purposes. My work has been recognized with a Google - CMD-IT Dissertation Fellowship, a Carnegie Mellon University Sansom Endowed Presidential Fellowship, an Adobe Research Fellowship Honorable Mention, and a Xerox Technical Minority Scholarship.
I completed my Ph.D. and M.S. in Human-Computer Interaction at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, where I was advised by Scott Hudson as part of the DevLab. During my Ph.D. program, I interned at HP Labs in the Immersive Experiences Lab. Before Carnegie Mellon, I completed a M.S.E in Computer Graphics and Game Technology and a B.S.E in Digital Media Design at the University of Pennsylvania. I was also previously software engineer at Facebook.
