Ph.D. student at the Human-Computer Interaction Institue at CMU. I work on accesibility technology for the blind.

Hi! I’m a third-year Ph.D. student at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. My research is mostly in the area of accessibility technology, specifically navigation aids for people with visual impairments. I work in the CMU Accessibility Lab and am advised by Jeffrey Bigham and Kris Kitani.
