I'm a 6th year Ph.D. Candidate at Northwestern University in Technology and Social Behavior (dual degree in CS and Communication Studies) working with Professors Haoqi Zhang and Darren Gergle. My research develops human-AI systems for advancing complex work, like research, in networked workplaces. I think about how machine support can be interwoven into a human's work process to help them understand what work situations to attend to and what strategies are effective. See my website for more!

I've developed the following systems to support complex work in networked workplaces:

• Interactive CAP Notes: a new note-taking tool that provides mentors structures for understanding how their students are working and for computationally-backed follow-up practices to be described in natural langague (e.g., suggesting peers who can help with prototype bugs --> creates a group DM to discuss).
• Orchestration Script Authoring and Diagnosis Interface: a way to model expert diagnosis practices for work situations and reason about them when issues arise (e.g,. when a worker is blocked on making progress on prototyping). Done with my wonderful undergrad students.
• Orchestration Scripts: a platform for writing programs to guide situated action, powered by Organizational Objects that model the ways of working in a workplace. Published at CHI 2023.

Aside from workplace tools, I also worked on:

• Opportunistic Collective Experiences: location-based opportunistic interactions at locations around the world (e.g., two friends at a coffee shop sharing latte art). Published at CSCW 2020.
• 4X: a hybrid approach for location-based data collection that leverages users' interest in collected data to elicit additional data contributions. Built as an iPhone and Apple Watch application for data sensing around college campuses. Published at CSCW 2019.

I love developing and maintaining free-to-use software systems, including:

• Yellkey: an ephemeral URL to common English word shortener used by over 80,000 people a year.
• Pair Research (code): a platform for coordinating help-requests in teams that over 1,300 people use at 130 groups in institutions around the world.

I also develop and maintain our website for Delta Lab (code) and Design, Technology, and Research (DTR) (code)

I'm an avid cook and coffee geek. Love recommendations for restaurants, recipes, and coffee shops!
