Intro

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), co-advised by Prof. Karrie Karahalios and Prof. Hari Sundaram. My general research interest investigates how human interacts with and make decisions through technology-mediated instruments. My current research focuses on collective decision-making mechanism design and decision-making through data visualizations. I am a full-stack web developer and a technology educator when not doing research. Read more about me here.

I publish my blog posts in both Traditional Chinese and English intended for different audiences! I detailed my past projects in English here, take a look! To learn more about what my labs work on, visit The Social Spaces Group and The Crowd Dynamics Lab!

This is my CV. I'm looking for 2022 summer research opportunities!
