I design, build, and evaluate intelligent systems and interactive visualizations, such as for augmented decision making, data exploration, and analysis.
My research lies at the intersection of AI/ML and human-computer interaction, focusing on transparency and control of human-in-the-loop systems to engender trust, improve performance, and support human-machine collaboration.
