I conduct research at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In particular, I am interested in the following fields: Tool-use Large Language Models, Extended Reality, and Human-AI Interaction. During my PhD, I studied Interactive Machine Teaching, designing interactive systems to improve user experiences in prototyping AI models. Please visit my personal website for more details.
