Bio

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at the AI4SG Lab, in the School of Computing, National University of Singapore, advised by Prof. Yi-Chieh Lee. I am also honored to collaborate with Prof. Renwen Zhang, Prof. Q. Vera Liao, and Dr. Zicheng Zhu. Before that, I completed a dual-degree program, earning bachelor degrees from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign(the Highest Honors Degree) and Zhejiang University.

At present, I am focusing on topics about human-AI interaction, especially uncovering the (subtle) social influences of modern AI (as social actors) on human users’ cognition and behavior. I’m also working on human-AI collaboration, and promoting prosociality in HCI to build a harmonious human-AI society.
