Ph.D. Student, Computer Science — Kennesaw State University
Graduate Research Assistant, DreamSpace Lab
Advisor: Dr. Lei Zhang
I research Extended Reality (XR) and Virtual Reality (VR) applications in healthcare, designing immersive, human-centered technologies for real-world clinical use. My current project is a multi-user, multi-modal VR system for collaborative medical imaging visualization, published at IEEE VR 2026.
I completed my B.Sc. in CSE from United International University with Magna Cum Laude honors, and previously worked as a Software Engineer building full-stack airline ticketing systems.

Research
XR / VR for Healthcare
My research explores how immersive extended reality technologies can transform clinical workflows from collaborative medical imaging review to patient education and surgical planning. I design and evaluate multi-user VR systems grounded in human-centered design principles and clinical needs.
