I’m a PhD Candidate researcher at Purdue University in the Department of Computer and Information Technology. I’m co-advised by Dr. Alejandra J. Magana in the Research on Computing in Engineering and Technology Education Lab and Dr. Daniel S. Schiff in the Governance and Responsible AI Lab.

My research is interdisciplinary, spanning across AI ethics & safety, AI education & literacy, moral psychology, and decision-making. My work converges to measure, track, and change spaces of moral decision-making with AI systems, whether in classrooms, human-AI collaboration, or online discourse to better understand both the cognitive and technical factors that lead to decision outcomes.

My PhD program focus extends my educational background of computer technology (MS), philosophy (BA), and cybersecurity (BS).
