Introducing the Personalized Learning² application; designed to make mentoring more effecient in order to give minoritized students more learning opportunities.
Is the Doer Effect Robust Across Multiple Data Sets?
We are organizing a conference to highlight the differences between the way that humans and machines evalaute creativity, and begin a conversation on how to bridge this gap.

Causal Discovery with Tetrad in LearnSphere’s Tigris
I am a PhD candidate at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute advised by Professor Jean Oh.
My research goal is to lower the barriers that people face in performing real-world acts of creativity such as painting or sculpting by creating new tools for artists using AI and Robotics.
I am particularly interested in the challenges of generating content in the real world, e.g., creating images with a few painted brush strokes versus generating pixels on a computer screen.
My work has won several awards including three categorical best paper nominations at ICRA and IROS, showing that Arts are a valuable domain for foundational Robotics research.
My research has also been featured in The New York Times, documentaries, and local news coverage, demonstrating the public's interest in artistic robotics.

Full-stack, lead developer on the Personalized Learning² project; addressing the opportunity gap for marginalized students. Created an interface for teachers and mentors at public schools in the Pittsburgh region to view data from their students’ usage of multiple Math tutoring software and access resources to intervene on students’ motivational and cognitive obstacles. Gave input on the designing of the tool and managed multiple design interns throughout its development process.
Contributed improvements in full stack development to LearnSphere’s Tigris: An online workflow tool for analyzing, visualizing, and mining educational data
Presented and taught at workshops and CMU courses. Created videos to teach the software tools I contributed to.
