I joined the Interactive Media Lab in November 2025 as a Research Associate. As a member of the project “ScaDS.AI (Center for Scalable Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence),” my research is in data storytelling using LLMs, and data visualizations. Apart from that, I am interested in Human-AI interaction, where the user engagement and experience can be explored in depth.
