I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Information Sciences at the
School of Information Sciences
at the
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
,
where I am advised by
Dr. Michael B. Twidale.
My research interests lie at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction, CSCW, artificial intelligence,
design research, and the learning sciences.
Recently interested and leaning towards sciences of writing and falsifiability of artificial intelligence.
Prior to doctoral studies at UIUC, I hold a master's degree in Informatics at College of Information Sciences and Technology at Pennsylvania State University (Main campus; university park), where I was advised by Dr. John M. Carroll at The Collaboration and Innovation Laboratory (CIL) group on HCI, synergies, CSCW and design research. Also I studied under Frank Ritter, Xialong Zhang, and Kenneth Huang.
