HCI Researcher & Designer
Ph.D. Candidate in Informatics HCI/d
Minor Music Technology for Health
A bit about me…
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Informatics HCI/d at the Proactive Health Lab, at Indiana University, advised by Dr. Patrick Shih. I research the relationship between people and technology at the intersection of Health, Human-Computer Interaction, and Music.
I study how music and sound can enhance people's well-being and reshape everyday interactions with artifacts; and how to improve clinical practices through technologies which employ musical elements.
