I am a design researcher. I create conceptual and computational tools for inclusive AI experiences.
I manage DxD (data, interaction, design) lab, where we explore Generative AI and UX design of large language models (LLMs) for individuals with special health needs, as well as AI risk mitigation to ensure ethical and transparent AI interactions. Our work is rooted in participatory design and employs mixed design research methods, integrating both qualitative and quantitative approaches to develop inclusive AI systems.
