Hi, I'm Casey!
I'm a first-year PhD student at McGill University, supervised by Dr. AJung Moon in the RAISE lab. My work is supported by the Vadasz Engineering Fellowship.
My recent work focuses on the personification of conversational agents, such as voice assistants and robots. See my research page for more details.
I completed my master's in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Waterloo, where I was supervised by Dr. Edith Law. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of New Brunswick, where I concurrently earned a Bachelor of Computer Science with thesis-based Honours, supervised by Dr. Daniel Rea, and a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Philosophy.
