I am a Ph.D. student at iSchool, University of Maryland, College Park. I'm currently a member of the HCIL lab.
I work with my advisor Joel Chan on supporting sensemaking and creativity on scientific literature. During my internship with Eunyee Koh et al. from Adobe Research in summer 2020 and 2019, I also work on designing and implementing techniques for visual analytics. In summer 2018, I interned at DAMO Academy, Alibaba, on dialog state tracking and deployed the module for the shopkeeper chatbot at 2.taobao.com.
My most recent curriculum vitae is in here.
