Research

My current research interests lie at the intersection of Embedded Systems and Augmented Reality. I am interested in exploring emerging technologies that support the next-generation of augmented, virtual, and mixed reality (combined to be called eXtended Reality, or XR) systems.

Experience

I have been working with Prof. Anthony Rowe’s lab since Summer 2020.

I was a SWE intern at Magic Leap in Summer 2022.

I was a SWE intern at Apple in Summer 2021.

I have also worked with Prof. Aaron Johnson’s lab from Summer 2019 to Spring 2020.
