About

I am an incoming PhD student in Computer Science at Northwestern University.

My research lies at the intersection of ubiquitous computing, plant biology, and education, with a focus on building deployable sensing platforms that make biological and environmental processes observable, interpretable, and interactive.

I design low-cost, bio-integrated sensing systems that bridge physical hardware and data-driven modeling. My recent work includes:

• PhytoBits - a frugal sensing toolkit for monitoring plant physiological rhythms in educational and research settings.
• Organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) sensors - bio-compatible, hydrogel-based bioelectronic devices for in-vivo monitoring of plant metabolic dynamics.

More broadly, I am interested in:

• Bio-integrated electronics
• Ubiquitous computing in living environments
• Computational tools for scientific learning

My long-term goal is to develop intelligent sensing systems that extend AI beyond screens and into physical, biological environments.

Outside of research, I enjoy building interactive systems, mentoring students in STEM, and occasionally performing musical theater.
