About
human-AI whisperer \ data artist \ interactive futurist
I am a tenure-track assistant professor at the College of Electronic and Information Engineering at Tongji University. I conduct research on long-term human-AI collaboration with embodied interfaces and systems.
I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Brown University, advised by Prof. Jeff Huang. I also hold a terminal MFA degree from the University of Pennsylvania and earned a BA from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Vision
I am interested in how human-AI collaboration can work towards long-term mutual benefits, co-presence,
and co-evolution.
