About Me
Hello! I am a Ph.D. student in the Computing and Information Sciences program at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), advised by Dr. Kristen Shinohara . I am also a member of the Center for Accessibility and Inclusion Research (CAIR) Lab where I engage in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Accessibility research.
Research Interests
My research investigates how adaptive and context-aware technologies can support neurodivergent individuals, particularly Ph.D. students with ADHD, in managing time, tasks, and focus throughout their workflows. By examining how these students navigate unstructured research environments, I aim to inform the design of human-centered systems that foster productivity and accessibility.
