I am a second-year PhD student advised by Haijun Xia at the /UC San Diego/Cognitive Science/Design Lab/Foundation Interface Lab

Previously, I was in the Sc.M. program in Computer Science at Brown University where I worked with Jeff Huang at the HCI Lab and Nikos Vasilakis at the ATLAS group. I received my B.S. degree in Computer Science and Cognitive Science from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, working with Xinyu Wang.

Research Interest

I believe in a convivial information ecosystem where people can easily (1) curate, (2) make sense of, and (3) manipulate any information that matters to them.

My research spans across Human-Computer Interaction, Programming Languages, and Systems.
