Hi! I’m interested in how human factors are embedded in software systems, ethics, conversational AI, and shifting software development to be user-centered. I’m currently a PhD student at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, supervised by Emitzà Guzmàn, Florian Kunneman, Patricia Lago, and Koen Hindriks, and participating in both the Software and Sustainability and Social AI groups. Currently, I’m working on multiple projects at the intersection of my interests.

If you’re interested in human factors in software, please feel free to join the Human Factors Club I run at VU Amsterdam.
