Biography

I am a 1st year HCDE (Human-Centered Design and Engineering) PhD student at the University of Washington. My current research interest is to understand and evaluate machine learning systems from a user perspective. I am especially excited about designing responsible AI-driven systems that can facilitate people’s daily interactions and promote behavior change. I am currently rotating with Dr. David McDonald and Dr. Gary Hsieh.

Previously, I have conducted HCI research at GT SPUD (Security, Privacy, Usability and Design) Lab under the supervision of Dr. Sauvik Das during my undergrad. I am also volunteering at Berkeley SETI Research Center, building ML-based pipelines in astrophysics under the supervision of Dr. Andrew Siemon and Dr. Steve Croft.
