I am a Ph.D. Candidate and Mixed Methods UX Researcher affiliated with (x)ability Design Lab and (dis)Ability Design Studio at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. My work examines the intersection of Human–Computer Interaction, Cognitive Science, and Data Visualization with the goal of advancing inclusive technologies. In particular, I design, build, and evaluate systems that enable people with visual (dis)abilities to engage with complex three-dimensional data in spatially adaptive interfaces.

My research interests span multimodal data visualization and immersive analytics, virtual/augmented reality, and evidence-based accessibility. I employ mixed-methods research methodologies to connect cognitive science theory with practical system design. I am currently actively seeking internship opportunities for Summer of 2026 in UX Research, Interaction Design and Multimodal Visualization.
