My research focuses on AI and social well-being: how we build relationships, care for each other, and communicate meaningfully in an increasingly AI-mediated world. I'm particularly interested in online advice communication, the ethics of advice, and how recommendation systems or LLMs facilitate advice-giving and advice-seeking in our society. To study these topics, I employ a variety of methods from critical, empirical, and design-oriented approaches that spans HCI, NLP, and the social sciences. I'm lucky to be advised by the legendary Sue Fussell.

I draw from what I've learned in both industry and academia. I previously studied Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology, Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University, and Psychology & Philosophy at UC San Diego. I've also taught as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Pace University, worked as a UX Researcher on Google Maps, and launched a few games (and the PS4) as a Marketer and Localization Producer at PlayStation Japan.
