I am a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Technology Management and Innovation at New York University's Tandon School of Engineering, working with Dr. Vedant Das Swain at the COPHEE Lab. I completed my PhD from the University of British Columbia (UBC), where I was co-supervised by Dr. Joanna McGrenere and Dr. Thomas Fritz (University of Zürich).
My PhD research focused on designing digital tools and interventions to holistically support knowledge workers, jointly considering both their productivity and well-being. My design inspiration comes from ideas and practices grounded in empirically-validated psychotherapies, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy. I believe that taking a human-centric, holistic perspective to work is critical for a more inclusive, healthier, and flourishing future of work. My previous undergraduate research involved characterizing asynchronous collaboration in VR.
I completed an internship in the summer of 2023 as a Future of Work Research Intern at Slack. I returned in 2024 as a PhD intern at Slack's Workforce Lab. I'm grateful to have worked under the supervision of Mike Massimi and Lucas Puente.
