About.
I am an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University. I completed my Ph.D in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
I was co-advised by Prof. Hari Sundaram and Prof. Karrie Karahalios.
I earned my B.S. in Psychology and Statistics & Computer Science at the University of Illinois with Prof. Dov Cohen.
My research is motivated by the fundamental question of
understanding humans at scale. My goal is to study human-computer interaction to expand our knowledge about our behaviors and decision-making processes. Currently, I want to spend my time on three exciting topics,
AI for Social Science,
Human-centered Model Evaluation, and
Information Seeking. Broadly, my work lies in the intersection of
human-computer interaction,
natural language processing, and
social and personality psychology.
