I'm a second-year Ph.D. student at UC San Diego in the Cognitive Science Department doing research in Human-Computer Interaction. I work with Prof. Haijun Xia as part of the Foundation Interface Lab.

My research centers on malleable software—interfaces that enable users to easily, expressively, and broadly customize their software interface without code or a bloated list of settings. Specifically, I explore how we can bring malleable software to real-world, production-grade software systems, considering the tensions between designers, developers, and end-users. To do so, I study these three user groups, create interaction techniques, develop novel software systems, and create theoretical frameworks for bringing malleable software to more end-users.
