I am a fourth-year PhD student in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where I am very grateful to be co-advised by Prof. Ken Holstein and Prof. Haiyi Zhu.
My research focuses on transforming the current top-down and centralized approach to AI development, towards more community-driven, deliberative, and democratic processes. To achieve this vision, I develop systems and processes that empower individuals and communities impacted by AI to actively shape its design, evaluation, and governance. My research has received Best Paper and Honorable Mention Awards at top HCI conferences, including CHI and UIST. I have also been recognized with the CASMI PhD Fellowship, Taiwanese GSSA Fellowship, and as an MLCommons ML and Systems Rising Star.
Previously, I hold an M.S. from Stanford University, where I worked with Prof. James Landay and Prof. Elizabeth Murnane in the Stanford HCI Group. I also graduated summa cum laude in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University, as a Phi Tau Phi Scholar and Irving T. Ho Fellow.
