Welcome! I’m a third year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Toronto. I am advised by Prof. Tovi Grossman at the Dynamic Graphics Group (DGP) lab and Prof. Yan Chen.
My research interests lie in human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, and their intersection. My past works have focused on aligning AI support with human capabilities to build harmonious mixed-initiative and AI-proactive workflows for automation, programming, and ideation.
Before PhD, I received my MSc. degree from the University of Toronto where I was advised by Prof. Tovi Grossman and Prof. Yan Chen, and B.S. degree with high distinction in Computer Science and Psychology from the University of Michigan, where I had the pleasure to work at the Computational HCI lab with Prof. Nikola Banovic.
