I am a PhD Student in Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, advised by Dr. Mirela Alistar. My research interests include human-computer interaction (HCI), social computing, and cross-cultural design. I am currently exploring how to integrate cultural and religious values into technology to create more inclusive and accessible digital platforms that support women’s health, with a focus on empowering underrepresented communities like Arab and Muslim women. As part of my work at the Living Matter Lab, I also collaborate with researchers in the biodesign and bioinformatics spaces by designing user studies and analyzing data to improve user experiences. Additionally, I actively contribute to the academic community by serving as a reviewer for ACM conferences such as CSCW, UIST, and ISWC, and I enjoy mentoring incoming graduate students.
