About

I'm an incoming professor at the University of Alberta, specializing in Human-Computer Interaction. I earned my PhD from the University of Toronto, where my research explored how generative AI is reshaping programming, with a focus on interaction and cognition. I design tools that promote thoughtful engagement with AI, reduce over-reliance, support independent learning, and improve steering and verification in human-AI workflows. My work has been published in top HCI venues, including CHI, UIST, and IUI.
