I'm currently a Ph.D. candidate in Informatics at the University
of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, based in Champaign. I'm very
fortunate to be advised by Dr. Yang Wang , with additional
mentorship from Andrew Miller,
Dawn Song,
Sauvik Das, Yun Huang and many
other collaborators.
I study questions in the intersection of system and society, particularly in the context complex socio-technical system. With a particular emphasis on underserved populations, I design, evaluate, and implement interventions to address ethical and privacy concerns in data-driven systems, covering facets, including, data, algorithms, and user interactions- in both user-to-user and user-to-company contexts.
I use tactical and opportunist interventions leveraging both experimental and theoretical techniques to reimagine,
build and test more socially responsible alternatives. This includes new methods for engaging underserved groups as a contributor;
methods of technical inclusion in cooperative deliberative design. I also utilize a combination of systems-building and empirical
studies (user experiments, field deployments, co-design, and expert interviews).
I'm on the academic job market this year!
I'll graduate with a PhD from Informatics, the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in 2024.
I'm open to TT faculty positions. If my work aligns with yours, please get in touch!
