About Me
I am an HCI Researcher based in Waterloo, Ontario (Canada). I currently hold a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the SPIRL lab at Carleton University, and a Research Associateship at the University of Waterloo, in the Technologies for Aging Gracefully lab.
My research involves exploring the design of usable, adoptable, and ethically conscious Human-AI interactions, interfaces, and experiences. While I have focused on Conversational Voice Interfaces for much of my research career, much of my work has involved translating different Emerging User Interface research into actionable design tools and frameworks for industry use, and bridging the gap between academic research and practical industry design.
I am a founding member of the ACM Conversational User Interfaces (CUI) Steering Committee since its inception in 2019. I have given talks at industry panels and taught industry courses at international conferences on how to design for Conversational Voice Interfaces, through the work that I've done in my research career.
