I am a Research Scientist at Adobe Research. I am based in Basel, Switzerland and work as part of the AI Experiences Lab. I received my PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT, where I worked with Prof. Stefanie Mueller in the Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL).

My research interests span two areas related to ubiquitous intelligence:
1) Embedding information, intelligence, & interaction into everyday objects
In my PhD, I developed novel mechanisms to seamlessly identify, track, and interact with real-world objects for ubiquitous computing. Toward the vision of ubiquitous metadata, I am interested in using computer vision, digital fabrication, and machine learning to create applications in augmented reality (AR), product design, and digital product passports.

2) GenAI for developing human-centered creativity support tools & experiences
My current projects focus on leveraging generative and agentic AI to enhance creativity, support decision-making processes, and improve user interfaces. I am particularly interested in how these technologies can be used to create more intuitive and engaging interactions between users and digital content in different contexts, e.g., for agentic creation workflows, web design and development, and generative engine optimization (GEO).

At Adobe, I have contributed to R&D innovations in new products such as the Adobe LLM Optimizer and AEM Sites Optimizer.
I regularly collaborate with interdisciplinary teams and present my findings at major CS and human-computer interaction (HCI) conferences. For more information about my projects or to discuss potential collaborations, please feel free to reach out to me via email.
