Hi there! I am a human-AI interaction (HAII) researcher and Postdoctoral Associate at the Department of Information Science at Cornell University. I work with Dr. Qian Yang at the Design AI Lab. My research explores the societal impact of AI-powered technologies on work practices. Most lately, I focus on how practitioners design, build, and/or apply AI for digital mental healthcare.

Previously, I received my PhD in Communication at Cornell with a Concentration in Human-Computer Interaction. Throughout my PhD journey, I was fortunate to work at Microsoft Research, Google Research, Sony AI, Adobe, Accenture Labs, and Cornell Center for Social Sciences through various internships, fellowships, and PhD scholar programs.

Starting Fall 2024, I will join USC Annenberg as an Assistant Professor. I am always on the lookout for collaborators and students to work with. If you find anything interesting on this page, let's get in touch :)
