Words first
I began publishing poetry and essays in newspapers and magazines in primary school. Writing taught me to notice small things—and to care about how ideas are felt.
About Lulu
A humanist’s path
into intelligent machines.
I’m interested in the places where technical systems meet human imagination, behavior, and everyday life.
Designing how intelligence enters the world.
I am a first-year Robotics PhD student in Cornell Computer Science. My current research centers on human–AI interaction and design for embodied intelligence: treating AI not only as a tool, but as a material with behaviors, constraints, and expressive possibilities.
My earlier work in robot learning, perception, and manipulation gives me a technical foundation for asking more human questions: How should intelligent systems feel to use? How can people understand and shape their behavior? What new forms of interaction become possible when intelligence has a body?
01Make intelligence legible.
02Design through material exploration.
03Keep people in the question.
A non-linear beginning
Technology, with a human pulse.
A winding route
I studied humanities in high school and began university in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics before moving into artificial intelligence and embodied intelligence.
Across disciplines
I feel most at home where technology and the humanities overlap: between building systems and asking what kind of relationship we want with them.
