I am a WiSE Gabilan Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Viterbi School of Engineering, USC. I work in HCI and Software Engineering, redesigning digital experiences by aligning software to human cognition based on psychological principles and a touch of wonder! At the Adaptive Computing Experiences (ACE) lab, We investigate cognitive and social aspects of how humans interact with software across various activities, from programming to building social identities. Several of our award-winning research uses empirical, qualitative, and quantitative means to drive impactful change to real-world products.
