About me

I am a psychologist and postdoctoral researcher specializing in Human-Centered AI. My research focuses on designing, implementing, and evaluating AI systems that understand and support human behavior.

In my dissertation, I investigated behavioral interventions for energy and water conservation in everyday life. This work forms the foundation of my current research: translating behavioral science insights into effective AI-driven systems. I prioritize both user needs and organizational constraints to develop practical and impactful solutions.
