RESEARCH

THRAL Lab
Under Professor Aromando, I’m working on finding creative ways to use large language models (LLMs) to help computer science students learn. We’re exploring how tools like GPT can provide real-time feedback, grade assignments, and offer personalized support to make learning easier and more engaging. My role involves analyzing data to figure out how students interact with these tools and figuring out how to make them even better.

During the Summer of 2024, I worked full time on analyzing student survey data to try and identify trends in their feedback and opinions of LLM use in education.

INTERESTS

Color Guard
In my free time, you can find me in the University of Delaware Marching Band as a member of the color guard. I run an Instagram account where I post videos of myself practicing in order to get advice and connect with other people. Feel free to check it out!
Music
Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started playing trumpet in 5th grade and continued that hobby into highschool, playing in the marching band, jazz band, and pit orchestra. My favorite artist right now is Cavetown.

Recently, I started to learn guitar, and have been dedicating a lot of time to that. I've been playing for around a year, and I recently started a YouTube channel where I post videos of me playing.
