CS PhD Student @ Louisiana State University | HCI • CUDA/C++ • Applied AI
I'm a Computer Science PhD student at LSU researching Human-Computer Interaction, with prior industry experience as an R&D Software Engineer at Frontier Semiconductor (FSM) (Milpitas, CA). I build high-performance systems that bridge low-level engineering and applied AI.
- PhD Research — EEG-based studies on cognitive effort, dark-pattern UI design, simulation with AI agents, Human AI Interaction
- Semiconductor R&D — Delivered metrology software for TSMC, Intel, SK Hynix, Texas Instruments; led the FSM 4PP C2C tool showcased at SEMICON Japan
- High-Performance Computing — CUDA C++ image processing pipelines that delivered ~100% performance gains on production tools
