Welcome to my website
I am a Ph.D. student in Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto. I am also a member of the Inclusive Media & Design Centre (IMDC), Ryerson University. I am interested in Accessibile Computing, Human-Computer Interaction, and Data Science (and Machine Learning).
I am a foodie and I love things that have nice design, like:
- Furnitures with clean lines
- Modern house designs
- Minimalist aesthetics
- Cool clothes people wear
