About
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the MIT Media Lab with the Fluid Interfaces Group. I create wearable and digital interfaces to enhance human cognition. My research interests include Human-Computer Interactions and AI to support memory, sleep, and older adults. I am also a Creative Technologist with a background in Personal Fabrication, Design, and Robotics. During breaks, I play the ukulele and make short films.

Vision
My research aims to design the next generation of memory and cognitive augmentation technologies which use biosignals (physiological responses) to peer deeper into people’s cognitive context and explore forms of cognitive influence to give just-in-time support such as memory training and assistance.
