I’m a PhD student in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Irvine. My research focuses on developing ethical and efficient systems in the fields of mobile computing, IoT, and machine learning. Currently, I’m a member of the Pervasive Autonomy Lab, advised by Prof. Salma Elmalaki, working on developing safe, secure, and innovative human-in-the-loop systems with recently a particular interest in Mixed Reality technologies.
In addition to my work, I enjoy reading, playing video games, and trying new foods with my friends. I obtained my BS in Computer Engineering from Ateneo de Manila University and developed a passion for using technology to solve real-world problems.
Thanks for visiting my website, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to learn more about my research!
