Research Interests

I research artificial intelligence systems that support decision-making, with a focus on explainability, visualization, and human-AI interaction. My work explores how interactive visual interfaces, artificial intelligence, and interpretable machine learning methods can improve usability and analytical reasoning in complex domains such as autonomous systems and scientific data analysis.

Research Affiliations

I am a member of the VIBE Lab, directed by Professor Alvitta Ottley, where I study visualization, explainability, and human-AI interaction.

I also work with Professor Eugene Vorobeychik on research involving machine learning, decision-making, and autonomous systems.

As an undergraduate at Amherst College, I conducted research with Professor Scott Alfeld on deep learning and robotics.
