I am currently a PhD student focusing on Human Factors at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, affiliated with the Cognitive Systems Laboratory. I love what I am doing because it sits at the intersection of self-exploration and real-world impact.

My research examines how people navigate their role and sense of control when working with increasingly capable AI systems. I drew my insights from human factors, cognitive engineering, and the history of automation. I'm curious about the broader implications of agentic AI and how we design these systems to keep humans meaningfully involved--not just keeping them in the loop.

In my free time I enjoy tinkering with human input devices, chilling with a pot of tea, or cleaning out my fountain pens.
