WinnerBio
I am a new graduate student in the University of Pennsylvania’s MCIT program, a Master of Science in Computer Science–equivalent degree, where I will focus on data science, artificial intelligence, robotics, human-computer interaction, and game design. I aim to understand how intelligent systems are built through data, including health and medical data, and how those systems can be translated into meaningful human experiences. I am particularly interested in how game-based and robotic systems can be used to collect behavioral and physiological data through natural interaction, enabling more continuous and less intrusive approaches to health monitoring. By applying AI, I hope to transform this data into adaptive systems that can detect patterns, personalize experiences, and support real-world decision-making. Game design plays a critical role in shaping engagement, ensuring that these systems are intuitive, motivating, and usable over time. My long-term goal is to bring these disciplines together to guide the development of intelligent, ethical, and human-centered technologies from concept to real-world impact.
