I am a final year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Yale University. I work with Professor Marynel Vázquez in the Interactive Machines Group and Professor Brian Scassellati in the Social Robotics Lab.

I am excited to share that I will be joining Skidmore College as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science in Fall 2026!

Research Interests

My research goal is to help robots and interactive agents learn more effectively from the everyday users with whom they interact and collaborate. I focus on how robots can use additional information already available in an interaction, like facial expressions or body language, and how robots can prompt users for more information, such as proactively reminding them to give feedback. Ultimately, I’m trying to make robots better at “reading the room” so they can be more helpful collaborators in our daily lives.
