I am a third-year Computer Science Ph.D. student at the University of Colorado Boulder. My research interests are centered around working on algorithms to address human-centered problems identified by researchers in accessibility and human-computer interaction, where I've found my niche in image segmentation. Long-term, I am excited about converting images to rich, detailed, structured representations to operate on in paradigms such as Visual Programming. I am grateful to be supported by the National Science Foundation through a GRFP Fellowship and to be advised by Danna Gurari. I also frequently collaborate with the wonderful folks over at Adobe Research. In the past, I have had the opportunity to intern at The Allen Institute for AI with Favyen Bastani and Aniruddha Kembhavi, working on unsupervised learning for remote sensing time series change detection. I have also spent time at Adobe Research, where I worked on interactive segmentation with Brian Price and Yifei Fan, as well as at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, where I worked on natural/spoken language processing problems (with applications in national security) and VR applications (with applications in Biosurveillance) with Karl Pazdernik. Prior to that, I spent many wonderful years at Western Washington University working on Computational Photography and Geospatial Computer Vision with Scott Wehrwein and Structural Bioinformatics with Filip Jagodzinski. While at WWU I worked as a web application developer to make websites more accessible and compliant with WCAG 2.0 guidelines. In my free time I embrace the Boulder stereotypes and spend a lot of time trail/ultra running, climbing, cooking, knitting, and biking.
