👋 About Me
Hi! I'm a fifth fourth third-year 😱 Ph.D. student at Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. I am broadly working in responsible AI and human-AI interaction. I work with Katharina Reinecke.
I aim to align the goals of responsible computing with the realities of computing research practices, especially in the early stages of designing technologies. My current focus is to build new tools to support researchers and practitioners to understand the existing bias at scale and leverage the crowd's wisdom to anticipate potential adverse effects. I am also interested in accessibility, data visualization, cross-culture usability of technology and HCI.
My research is supported by IBM PhD Fellowship. I have been a research intern at Microsoft Research with Danielle Bragg in 2024 and Allison Koenecke in 2022. I spent four wonderful years at Macalester College, where I worked with Shilad Sen.

🦘 Fun
I used to triple jump and run track and field and do mock trial in college. I sometimes cook, ski, or hike. I'm from Qingdao, China, a city that brews the best beer in the world 🍻 :)
