About Me

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, advised by Dr. Ming Yin. My research interests are in the fields of human-AI interaction, applied AI, and fairness. Specifically, I focus on investigating fairness issues in the AI development pipeline from a human-in-the-loop perspective.

Before attending graduate school, I received my bachelor's degree from Purdue University, Department of Computer Science with distinction in December 2018.
