Hello! I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Colorado, Boulder, where I had the privilege of being advised by Prof. Tom Yeh. I also received valuable guidance from Prof. Tianshi Li at Northeastern University. Prior to this, I studied at BUPT.

My research focuses on empowering individuals to transform emerging technologies into personal tools that cater to their unique needs and goals. This can be summarized in three key aspects:

• Enhancing interactivity and engagement: Leveraging technology to support personalized learning and education.
• Ensuring safety and privacy: Developing usable solutions to build trust and security in technology.
• Improving accessibility: Making technology inclusive and beneficial to a wider audience.

To achieve these goals, I leverage diverse methodologies and prototypes, including but not limited to Multimodal Large Language Models, mobile development, sensors, XR/AR, crowdsourcing, visualization and social media analytics.
