I am a Carnegie Bosch Postdoctoral Fellow at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII), Carnegie Mellon University. I am working with Dr. Hong Shen and Dr. Jodi Forlizzi. I completed my Ph.D. in Human-Centered Computing at Georgia Tech. My research broadly lies in Human-AI Interaction, Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), Cognitive Science, and Responsible AI. I study the design of AI systems that can account for human's changing perceptions of AI during communications through the lens of Mutual Theory of Mind. Recently, I am interested in mitigating people's harmful perceptions of AI through responsible AI practices in early-stage UX design. I leverage a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods such as interviews, surveys, co-design, lab experiments, and statistical modeling to study these problems. My research has been published at top-tier HCI venues such as ACM CHI, CSCW, and DIS. In 2021, I was recognized with the GVU Foley Scholar award, the highest award for student excellence in research contributions to computing at Georgia Tech.

I received my bachelor of science degree from University of Washington, Seattle in informatics and psychology. I worked closely with the Department of Human-Centered Design and Engineering, the Information School, the DUB group, and the psychology department on several research projects during my undergraduate study.

I love indoor bouldering, hiking, and playing with my cat Gouda.
