👩‍💻 Ph.D. student @ George Mason Univeristy

I'm a 4th year Ph.D. student at George Mason University, working with Prof. Craig Yu in the Design Computing and Extended Reality Group (DCXR). Previously, I received my M.S. degree under the supervision of Prof. Young J. Kim.

My research focuses on AR/VR/XR experience synthesis and representation, grounded in in-context human and scene understanding. I’m passionate about embodying what we imagine on top of what we perceive, seamlessly blending into the real world.
