Human-computer interaction (HCI) and human-robot interaction (HRI) researcher

I am an Assistant Professor in the Miner School of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.

My research interests include artificial intelligence (AI) embodiment in socially complex interactions, robot re-embodiment, personalized experiences with AI agents in services, and designing for human-AI teaming in space. I use behavioral studies and research-through-design, as well as qualitative and quantitative methods, to explore topics in these areas.

I received my Ph.D. in human-computer interaction from the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where I was advised by Jodi Forlizzi and Aaron Steinfeld. My research has been supported by the National Science Foundation and a NASA fellowship.

A full list of publications is available on my CV and on my Google Scholar page.
