I am a first-year CSE Ph.D. student at University of Washington. I’m advised by Amy X. Zhang and part of the Social Futures Lab. My current research interests are Social Computing and FAccT (Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency). Specifically, I am passionate to build and understand content moderation systems on online platforms that respect people’s expectations about privacy and fairness.
Before coming to UW, I worked as a research assistant at Social AI Group at Carnegie Mellon University, where I was co-advised by Professors Haiyi Zhu and Steven Wu. I was also fortunate to be part of CMU DIG lab and advised by Professor Adam Perer. I earned my BA at Tsinghua University and majored in Computer Science.
