Professional Summary
My research sits at the intersection of online safety and technology for special needs. I investigate the practices, policies, and technological implementations required to create safe and supportive digital environments. As an interdisciplinary scholar, I use a human-centered approach to address two areas: (1) shielding users from online risks and harms, and (2) designing AI-driven health or assistive solutions that foster wellbeing for at-risk populations.
