I am an Assistant Professor in the SMU's School of Computing and Information Systems and am a member of SMU HCI Research. My research lies at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and accessibility, where I design, develop, and deploy interactive tools powered by cutting edge technologies to support people with disabilities. Through user-centered approaches, I create solutions that enhance independence, improve quality of life, and promote inclusion across diverse disability contexts.
I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Robotics Institute and Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University from 2016 to 2017, where I worked with Prof. Aaron Steinfeld and Prof. Jeff Bigham. Before that, I was a Ph.D. student at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I was advised by Prof. Jon Froehlich.
Prospective Students
I am looking for motivated, passionate, and talented graduate students who can work with me to design future technologies to support people with disabilities. If this interests you, consider applying to the SCIS Ph.D. program.
I am also looking for undergraduate and graduate visiting students who are interested in creating technologies to support people with disabilities. See the following links for more information:
