About Me
I'm a PhD student in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (my "official" webpage).
My advisors are Dr. Madelyn Sanfilippo and Dr. Ted Underwood.
I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Hongyi Honor College at Wuhan University, China, advised by Dr. Chenliang Li and Dr. Yanjiao Chen.
Previously, I was a visiting researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Dr. Justin Hsu, Fudan University, advised by Dr. Xianghua (Sharon) Ding, Westlake University, advised by Dr. Yue Zhang, and the University of Maryland-College Park, advised by Dr. Furong Huang. I was a research intern at Tencent, Bytedance and Zall Research Institute of Smart Commerce.
Research Interests
My research interests are broadly in human-computer interaction (HCI) and AI ethics/governance. I'm particularly passinate about understanding gender bias in AI (e.g., ChatGPT) and other corpora (e.g., fairy tales), as well as developing education games and tools to equip people with awareness. I've also conducted extensive user research to understand emerging sociotechnical systems, especially social/streaming media and blockchain/Web3.
