Biography

Since beginning my undergraduate studies at UC San Diego, I have completely immersed myself in research and its applications. I trained across diverse labs in psychology and neuroscience in university, and after graduating, I worked at Stanford University for 3 years on a variety of projects. I investigated how brain systems and personal traits are involved in the formation of social networks, and how features of self-regulation can be used to predict positive lifestyle changes for people. I worked alongside companies in Silicon Valley to test mobile app interfaces, provide UX/UI insights, and develop immersive (and enjoyable) VR/AR user experiences.

At Cambridge, I developed new frameworks for the study of mind wandering and spontaneous thought patterns. I also used a mix of qualitative interviews and field study designs to combine insights about how people experience changes in their emotions across time - and how smart technology may predict these patterns and better adapt to user needs.

My goal is to always keep innovating to find new ways of improving people's well-being.
