Hey there! I'm a first year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at

Stanford. Previously, I was an undergrad in the College of Computing at

Georgia Tech (go Jackets!), advised by Diyi Yang and Polo Chau.

My interests lie at the intersection of human-computer interaction and machine learning. I'm interested in understanding how automated algorithms can affect and support interpersonal interactions online.

I've spent a bit of time as a research intern at

Square,

University of Southern California, and

Cornell University.

Also: if you're an undergrad interested in research (especially if you identify with a historically marginalized group), please reach out! I'm more than happy to chat about some of the opportunities here from the perspective of an undergrad.
