Visiting Assistant Professor
Taught INFO 680 Extended Reality: UX & AR/VR, a graduate course on designing and evaluating immersive systems with Unity and A-Frame, with a focus on accessibility and usability testing. Mentored students on applying UX research methods to XR projects. I also designed and proposed a graduate special-topics course, Inclusive UX with AI: From Concept to Launch, for the M.S. in Information Experience Design, in which student teams compare AI tools at each stage of the design process and reflect on AI as a collaborator.

Teaching Assistant, User Experience Design
Led interactive sessions and feedback workshops, and mentored students on research synthesis, critique and design rationale for their portfolios.
Approach
I teach research and design as one practice: students frame a problem with people, prototype, test, and explain their decisions. In immersive and AI-supported projects, I ask students to treat accessibility and inclusion as design requirements from the first sketch, not as a final check.
