I study and design technologies that grow curiosity, connection, and learning.
As a PhD candidate at the MIT Media Lab, I research social processes like collaboration, productive struggle, and shared discovery. I design systems that support these dynamics in learning environments and beyond.
My research involves building software and hardware tools and testing them through quantitative methods and longitudinal, community-situated studies. This approach is grounded in years of hands-on teaching and building: working with students to learn computer science, design, and brain sciences through project-based making. With a background in interactive media art and architecture, I have a deep love for creating physical and digital systems that invite exploration and connection.
