Swarms on Mars
April 2023
Utilizing biological swarm behaviors to construct in-situ settlements on Mars - a mission briefing
A teaching tool for swarm behaviors and survey of current in-situ extraterrestrial settlement construction techniques all in one designed website. Created for Prof Radhika Nagpal's seminar. Geeked out about robots, space, biology, architecture, and finally learned how to code in React. One day, there may be life on Mars, enabled by observing the patterns of life on Earth. These ideas are out of this world. Explore the website.
Redesigning Texting
April 2023
I have a continuous contention towards our current texting interfaces. They feel constricting, overwhelming, and impersonal for interfaces we spend so much time on every day. For a visual arts class I decided to play around with ideas and finally poke fun at our current interaction patterns. See the presentation.

Dream Garden
September - December 2022
Exploring the possibilities of geolocated, participatory digital spaces as a way to connect strangers. Can new paradigms of computing (in this case AR) be used to let people be creative together, and to build up their inhabited reality together? I think yes, and that this is something that needs to be explored more. Accepted to CHI '23. See paper.
Visualizing History
April 2022
Though Princeton University is often lauded for its academic excellence and research achievements, its history with institutionalized racism is lesser-known. To bring this history to light and in an effort to hold the university accountable for its past, we developed an AR experience to highlight stories of some of the earliest Black students and employees on campus and raise awareness for ongoing issues today. Final project for critical HCI class. See app and paper.
