In hospitals, classrooms, and institutions, people often swallow the questions they need to ask. I study interfaces that can reduce that silence.
Accessibility, healthcare, education, and information access may look like separate domains, but for me they return to one question: can people remain interpreters of their own lives even when systems offer help?

When AI edits speech or writing, I ask whose expression survives and what gets quietly removed.
Good support does not only finish a task; it can help people understand the situation better.
I look at how technologies are misunderstood, adapted, and negotiated in classrooms, clinics, workplaces, and online information environments.
Projects such as EmoBridge, AltAuthor, and AltCAT study accessibility across classrooms, screen readers, and cultural contexts.
AI shopping agents, argument search, and review experiences reveal how AI shapes interpretation and choice.
MediBridge-related work asks what people cannot ask, and what support is needed in unfamiliar institutional and healthcare journeys.
In classrooms, academic reading, and code comprehension, I study whether AI can scaffold thought rather than only accelerate answers.
