Human-AI Interaction Researcher, Georgia Tech
I study how users perceive, relate to, and experience AI, in service of designing effective Human-AI interactions. Currently, I am a researcher at the Exploratorium , a science and tech museum in San Francisco, where I support the design of (1) AI enabled experiences for informal learning, and (2) exhibits for AI literacy.
I have a Ph.D. in Digital Media from the Georgia Institute of Technology where I was advised by Dr. Yanni Loukissas. My PhD research employed participatory and qualitative methods to design systems for shared public understanding of civic AI systems.
