I study how people can think critically with AI.
My work combines empirical studies with the design of interfaces and workflows that scaffold judgment, reflection, and responsibility rather than displacing them.
Selected work
Projects
Research systems and studies across human-AI collaboration, AI education, explainability, and mixed-initiative knowledge work.

Transparency and academic integrity
AI Disclosure and Attribution in Programming Education
A study of how students and instructors interpret AI disclosure requirements in programming courses, and what those requirements ask of the people who follow them.

Sensemaking and reflexivity
Mixed-Initiative Systems for Qualitative Analysis
Two systems supporting interpretation in qualitative research: a mixed-initiative canvas for sensemaking, and deliberation scaffolds for collaborative coding.

Evidence synthesis
Designing AI Support for Systematic Literature Reviews
A study of where automation belongs in systematic literature review, and an open-source tool built on the resulting design guidance.

AI literacy and prompting
Improving Student-AI Interaction Through Pedagogical Prompting
An instructional approach treating prompting as a learning skill, evaluated through a randomized controlled trial in an introductory programming course.

Explainability and developer trust
Transparency and Explainability in AI Coding Agents
A prototype exposing the reasoning and codebase context behind an AI coding agent's suggestions in order to support appropriate reliance.

Classroom deployment
Classroom Deployment of an AI Programming Assistant for Novices
A semester-long classroom deployment of an LLM-based programming assistant, evaluated through 8,000 usages, student surveys, and educator interviews.

Learning analytics and field experiments
Randomized Email Interventions in Computing Courses
A series of randomized field experiments examining whether instructor reminder emails are read, and whether they affect subsequent student behavior.
