PhD Student
Department of Computer Sciences
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Hello! I am a fourth-year PhD student in Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Dr. Yuhang Zhao.
My research interests include Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Accessibility, and Social Computing. I study how AI-powered technologies can support people with disabilities in navigating social interactions with greater agency over how they participate, communicate, and present themselves. I am particularly interested in socially-situated AI, where I see accessibility extends beyond information access to managing identity, relationship dynamics, and social perceptions.Previously, I received a MS in Information Science from Cornell University, where I worked with Dr. Andrea Stevenson Won and Dr. Shiri Azenkot. Before that, I earned B.A. with a double major in Sociology and Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
