Hello! 👋

I’m a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Purdue University, where I’m exploring the fascinating world of human-AI interaction, applied AI, and fairness with my advisor, Dr. Ming Yin. My research focuses on making AI systems fairer by keeping humans in the loop at every step.

Before grad school, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (with distinction!) from Purdue in December 2018. Outside of research, I love catching up on tech trends and enjoying the vibrant Purdue campus community. Always happy to connect and chat about AI, fairness, or anything tech!
