As a Research Fellow at the National Science Foundation's National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NSF NCSES), I have contributed to a wide range of research, product development, and data innovation initiatives, including:

​

Data Tool Design & Product Innovation

• Led the conceptual design of a next-generation interactive data tool to improve the accessibility and exploration of NSF statistical data.

• Developed design concepts and product specifications that have informed one of the agency's strategic priorities for future data tool development over the next five years.

 

User Experience (UX) Research

• Designed and conducted mixed-methods UX research using publicly available datasets to evaluate user needs, perceptions, and interactions with new data tools and statistical products.

• Proposed an innovative computer vision–assisted interview methodology to support user research, enabling interviewers to capture richer behavioral insights and improve data collection.

 

Data Analytics & Data Storytelling

• Performed exploratory data analysis and statistical analyses to identify meaningful patterns within NSF datasets.

• Optimized data structures and visual communication strategies to enhance data storytelling and improve the effectiveness of scientific visualizations.

 

Program Coordination & Interagency Collaboration

• Coordinated communication and collaboration between NSF NCSES and Data.gov to support federal open data initiatives and improve data accessibility.

 

Web Product Design & Development

• Collaborated with web developers and product teams to improve the NCSES web experience.

• Designed wireframes, mockups, and interface concepts for new webpages and interactive data products.

 

Statistical Research Support

• Provided statistical analysis and methodological support for multiple NCSES survey programs, contributing to data interpretation, quality assurance, and evidence-based reporting.

 

Training & Knowledge Development

• Contributed to the development of training materials for the U.S. Restricted Data Standard Application Process (SAP), supporting researchers and stakeholders in accessing restricted-use federal datasets.
