Curriculum vitae

Greetings! I am a Ph.D. student at the UCLA HCI lab advised by Professor Xiang ‘Anthony’ Chen.

My research interests are situated at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and AI. Recently, I’ve been exploring how humans can interact with AI beyond conversing with a chatbot/agent. For example, to make AI more proactive, or enable people to interact with it using more than text. My work spans several application domains including communication, accessibility and augmented reality.

My work has been recognized and supported by an Amazon Ph.D. Fellowship (2023), an ACM UIST Best Paper Award 🏆 (2022), two ACM CHI Best Paper Honorable Mentions 🏅 (2023, 2024), an ED Rice Outstanding Master Student Award 🎓 (2023), and a Distinguished Master’s Thesis Research Award 🎓 (2022) at UCLA. I also held research internships at Google and Snap Research.
