I am an undergraduate Psychology student at the Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech). I am interested in developing assistive technologies for individuals with mental illnesses and other cognitive and/or physical disabilities. Currently, I am conducting a preliminary review of the literature regarding display design and head-up displays, and I am interested in designing augmented reality (AR) tools to assist individuals with autistic-spectrum disorders navigate the social world. My other research interests include: the use of peripheral devices to create AR experiences that increase mindfulness and overall psychological well-being, the use of artificial intelligences to mitigate the effects of dementia and/or executive functioning disorders, and the psychology of artificial intelligences. After earning my Bachelor’s degree from Illinois Tech, I plan to go on to earn advanced degrees in human-computer interaction.
