I am a toolmaker creating epistemic tools: interactive artifacts that expand what people can see, question, and decide with data and AI. I treat interfaces as arguments where design choices shape interpretation, agency, and accountability. I prototype and evaluate systems in real contexts, translating messy human concerns into testable, communicable forms. Across visualization, human-LLM interaction, and speculative design, I focus on making uncertainty legible rather than hidden. The goal is practical clarity: tools that help people reason well, not merely compute faster.
My undergraduate education and PhD training were in STEM-leaning industrial and interdisciplinary design. I have worked across research roles in data visualization, visual analytics, and human-AI interaction, and I currently work with human-large language models interaction and biofeedback systems. Given my background, my professional and research contributions extend beyond conventional academic journal publications to encompass artifacts, prototypes, frameworks, and reflection pieces.
