Research Experiences

During my undergraduate years, I was fortunate to work as:

1) a student researcher in the Protolab advised by Professor Steven Dow, where we designed and built tools for novices to create and learn visual design.

2) a research assistant in the iSchool at the University of Michigan advised by Professor Robin Brewer, where we developed conversational agents for older adults and their caregivers.

3) a research intern in the Ability Team at Microsoft Research, where I investigated inclusive avatar representations in the workplace.

4) an XR intern in the Clarke Center for Human Imagination, where I explored procedural rendering of 3D models to the campus scene.
