I’m a 4th-year Ph.D. candidate in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. I’m a neuroengineer, science communicator, and science policymaker in the San Francisco Bay Area. My research focuses on discovering digital biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases of aging using explainable AI, computer vision, and graph theory to develop new frameworks for tracking human movement in recorded videos. My work is supported by the Stanford Graduate Fellowship, Stanford NeuroTech Training Program Fellowship, Stanford Human-centered AI (HAI) Institute Graduate Fellowship, Stanford EDGE Fellowship, and the Stanford McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society Fellowship.

I also love writing and speaking about AI policy, neuroethics, tech ethics, and health disparities. I host a podcast, Generation Middle Ground, where I uplift and bridge stories across generations on navigating life as we know and dream of.
