About me

Human-Computer Interaction Human-AI Collaboration Natural Language Processing

I am a Ph.D. student in the IST Department at George Mason University, advised by Prof. Sungsoo Ray Hong and co-advised by Prof. Vivian Genaro Motti. My research lies at the intersection of Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), Human–AI Collaboration, and Natural Language Processing (NLP).

I am interested in exploring and designing AI-enabled systems that support collaborative sensemaking and help bridge communication gaps between autistic and neurotypical individuals in digital environments.
