I earned my PhD in Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington, specializing in Human-Computer Interaction under the advisement of Dr. Cesar Torres. My research expertise spans natural language processing (NLP), crowdsourcing, generative AI (GenAI), and design research. My dissertation contributed automated and scalable techniques for extracting tacit knowledge from instructional content available on the web to better support tutorial search, generation, and navigation.

I currently work as an Applied Scientist contractor with the Scientific Evaluation team at Adobe, where I build large-scale evaluation sets for benchmarking generative AI models across imaging initiatives. As part of this role, I also develop automated pipelines that translate qualitative workflow insights gathered from creative professionals into quantifiable metrics that leadership can use to make model and feature adoption decisions.

Throughout my PhD, I was fortunate to participate in several research internships. At Adobe Research, I worked with Christine Dierk and Eunyee Koh to develop methods leveraging VLMs to extract and evaluate subjective design qualities like mood, enabling mood-based search and generation of design templates on Adobe Express. I also leveraged my background in wearables and sensing to contribute to Project Primrose, where I integrated motion-responsive behavior into a dynamic computational dress display. At Fujitsu Research, I worked at the intersection of HCI and computer vision, building a VLM-powered interactive system for evaluating the quality of large image datasets used for 3D reconstruction workflows.

I am always open to collaborations and happy to chat about research, creative tools, or new opportunities, so please do not hesitate to reach out!

May 11, 2026 I am super excited to share that I have graduated with my PhD! A huge thank you to my advisor, Dr. Cesar Torres, and my committee members, Dr. Ming Li, Dr. Allison Sullivan, and Dr. Christine Dierk.
May 04, 2026 My paper “MoodPrism: Surfacing the Subjective Mood of Visual Content with MLLM-Generated Mood Profiles” from my internship at Adobe Research with Christine Dierk and Eunyee Koh has been accepted to ACM Creativity and Cognition 2026!
Jan 20, 2026 I have joined the Scientific Evaluation team at Adobe as an Applied Scientist contractor!
May 31, 2025 I am back at Adobe Research as a Research Scientist/Engineer Intern! I am working with Christine Dierk and Eunyee Koh on how generative AI can enable novel workflows for search and generation of design artifacts.
Apr 30, 2025 I wrapped up my internship at Fujitsu Research where I developed an interactive system that leverages LLMs to help people identify and interpret issues with datasets for Gaussian Splatting reconstructions. Paper to come! I also completed my research proposal milestone titled “Beyond proximal-distal: A Many-to-Many Model for Tacit Knowledge Transfer in Tutorials”. The finish line is in sight!
