HCI Researcher | Humanist Technologist
My research focuses on systems in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Recently, I am interested in elucidating intents in interactions. More specifically, I hope to leverage AI-powered interfaces to achieve accessible communication and effective disambiguation between cognition and computation.

I address this issue in three directions:
  • 1 translating open-ended human intents into structured machine-understandable formal language;
  • 2 making the computer accurately and naturally capture human intents;
  • 3 designing and deploying human-in-the-loop systems that support human activity.

I study Computer Science and Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame where I was advised by Dr. Toby Jia-jun Li. Previously, I interned at Creativity Lab led by Dr. Haijun Xia.
