Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the eventorganiser domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Chicago. I am an interdisciplinary researcher with a design and engineering background. I received a Master’s degree in Industrial Design from Georgia Tech in 2023. Previous to that, I obtained a B.Eng. in Industrial Design and worked as a UX/Product Designer for 1 year in industry.

Broadly, my research interest is in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). More precisely, my research is led by the questions of how people perceive the bright side and dark side of technology, and how these perceptions influence people’s personal well-being and social dynamic.
