I'm a postdoctoral researcher in the DesignAI lab at Cornell, working on human-AI interaction design and AI governance.
Before research, I spent eight years in large-scale technology infrastructure and human rights law. This background informs how I translate technical research into practical deployment, working across research, engineering, product, legal, and policy teams.
I've collaborated with Google Research on speech technologies for underserved languages, managed regulatory policy for Australia's national broadband rollout, and developed frameworks for responsible AI in high-stakes domains like mental health.
