Biography
I am a Computer Science PhD candidate at the University of Oxford, working on the Ethical Web and Data Architecture project led by Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt and Professor Sir Tim Berners-Lee. In Oxford Human Centred Computing, I am co-supervised by Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt and Dr Jun Zhao, and receive kind support from Professor Max Van Kleek.
My research interests lie broadly in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), with a particular focus on ethical and decentralized web technologies in the age of artificial intelligence. I am currently contributing to the Ethical Web and Data Architecture project, which aims to reform the concentration of power on the World Wide Web by developing and deploying new forms of technical and legal infrastructure. My work involves designing decentralized systems and AI-driven applications that uphold freedom, democracy, and user autonomy across the web and social media.
I received my B.S. and M.S., both in Computer Science, from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), co-advised by Professor Lawrence Angrave and Professor Karrie Karahalios. I also worked with Professor ChengXiang Zhai in the Data and Information Systems Laboratory.
