I'm a final year PhD student in UW CSE, advised by Prof. Jon Froehlich at the Makeability Lab.

My research focuses on Human-AI Interaction, especially how AI systems can understand, reason about, and support human interaction with real-world spaces. I pursue two connected directions:

Spatial reasoning and world understanding — building indoor mapping, navigation, and assessment tools using drones, computer vision, 3D graphics, and MLLMs. I aim to advance how AI perceives and reasons about spatial environments for navigation, accessibility, and safety.

Creativity support tools — developing MLLM-based systems for audio, visual, and UI design. I invent creative interfaces, define domain-specific languages, and fine-tune models with domain data to ground AI in real creative workflows.

I'm graduating in summer 2026 and actively seeking full-time industry opportunities as a research scientist or engineer. Please feel free to reach out if you have any opportunities!
