I am an undergraduate researcher at Tufts University working with Professor Elaine Short in The Agent Assistive Behavior and Learning Lab (AABL). I am an incoming Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Yale where I will be working with Brian Scassellati in the Social Robotics Lab. My research interest is in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), specifically in improving accessibility by developing robotic algorithms that encourage trust and communication with users.
