About me

Hello!

Starting in January 2026, I will begin my position as an Assistant Professor of Information Technology Management in the Ted Rogers School of Management at Toronto Metropolitan Unviersity. I’m excited to continue to pursue research on understanding how humans use AI-driven collaborative tools to design in this new role – stay tuned!

I was most recently a Postdoctoral Researcher in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Toronto, with Dr. Alison Olechowski in the Ready Lab and previously completed my Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Kosa Goucher-Lambert in the Cognition and Computation in Design (Co-Design) Lab at UC Berkeley. Also at the University of Toronto, I received my BASc in Engineering Science (2017) and MASc in Mechanical Engineering (2019) with Dr. Li Shu. My research has been funded by NSERC through the postdoctoral fellowship (PDF) and postgraduate scholarship (PGS-D).

I am interested in how humans interact and collaborate with AI in design-support tools that augment human ability in conceptual engineering design. I use a variety of methodological approaches in my research at the intersection of cognition, computation, and engineering design theory. My work has been published across numerous international design conferences and engineering design journals. Please see my past and current research !
