About Me

My work sits at the intersection of HCI and health. I build AI assistants — powered by LLMs — that understand user behavior across real-world contexts to enable seamless, adaptive interaction. I design, build, and evaluate assistants that support personal health and clinical practice through continuous, situated, long-term “in the wild” use, with a focus on older adults and aging in place.
