I am an HCI researcher and a 3rd-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 Explainable ML. I study how to design AI agents that can attend to the cognitive and emotional needs of humans when assisting them.
Before joining UW, I had fun with mathematics, data science, and applied machine learning as an undergrad at UC Berkeley.
Ongoing projects
We are exploring how LLM-powered tutoring can facilitate an interactivce learning environment for programmers.
We developed and validated a semantic differential scale measuring cognitive and affectivce trust towards AI.
