I am an HCI researcher and a 4th-year PhD student at Human Centered Design and Engineering (HCDE) at the University of Washington, advised by Gary Hsieh and Chirag Shah. My research generally lie in Human-AI Interaction and Human-centered Interpretable ML. I study how generative AI can facilitate synthetic diversity in feedback to support tech professionals (e.g. programmers, researchers, data scientists). I am also interested in designing AI that can attend to the cognitive and emotional needs of humans when assisting them.
Previously, I studied mathematics, data science, and ML at UC Berkeley.
