I am a doctoral researcher in the Edge Computing Lab and the CGBC at Harvard University. I am also research affiliate in the Patel’s Lab in Harvard DBMI.
My research develops proactive, personalized intelligent systems that coordinate with people and other agents to support better decision-making and adaptive intervention in daily life. My current work investigates this through wearables and the home, asking how our living spaces can move from smart, rule-based automation to an intelligent environment that proactively supports well-being and health.
Broadly, I am interested in how systems that sense and act in the physical world can decide when and how to intervene, and how to design those decisions around the way people interact with, understand, and experience them.
I did my MS in Computational Design at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology fully funded by the SA+P Graduate Fellowship and Merit Fellowship, and my BArch in building science and technology from the Architectural Association with High Honors with Distinction. I have worked at Mass General Hospital (Psychiatry), Microsoft Research, SOSO and Inferstudio.
Recently:
I have been selected as one of four inaugural Serpentine R&D Fellows from a pool of around 1,000 applicants worldwide [1] [2] [3]. During the fellowship, I will investigate the design and evaluation of human-AI interaction and collaboration, examining how it can support human agency and meaningful participation as AI systems take on more active roles in everyday life.
The cohort was selected by a jury comprising Google DeepMind COO Lila Ibrahim, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel, Refik Anadol, Cao Fei, and Holly Herndon.

I like making hardware interfaces, whimsy devices, machines, and furniture, and have years of experience across these areas.
I’ve previously held appointments as a lecturer at RISD (graduate-level course in design engineering, digital media) and Northeastern (capstone project course for CS, MechEng, Design)
