About Me

I am a PhD student advised by Dr. Tom Williams in the Department of Computer Science at the Colorado School of Mines. My current research interests include human-robot interaction, robot identity presentation, multi-robot interactions, and interface design. After graduating from the University of Tulsa in 2020 with a BS in computer science and a minor in math, I joined the MIRRORLab and started working towards my doctorate at Mines.
