Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

My research focuses on human-machine interactions from both user experience and model performance perspectives. I am interested in how users conceptualize generative AI systems as conversational partners and the downstream impact of anthropomorphism on user expectations for model performance. Additionally, I focus on computational questions surrounding building text- and voice-based models that attend to a wide range of speaker needs.

I am also currently a Graduate Research Assistant and Data Scientist for Nationwide Insurance through the Nationwide Center for Advanced Customer Insights.
