Hello, beautiful people!

I am a Postdoc Associate at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at University at Buffalo. As a researcher, designer, and innovator specializing in human-centered AI, I'm committed to pioneering responsible AI systems that democratize emerging technologies and drive meaningful societal impact.

My background spans academia and industry. I hold a PhD in Information Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), served as Director of Data Science at a B2B AI company, and received academic training in social science theories and mixed-methods at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).

“See, Feel, Think, Act” is my simple formula for navigating life's journey. I'm excited to collaborate on research that bridges theory and practice, centers human needs, and builds AI systems that truly serve communities.
