Hello! I'm a undergraduate researcher in the Waterloo Visualization research group, advised by Dr. Jian Zhao. In Fall 2024, I will join the University of Washington as an CS Ph.D. Student.

I mainly conduct research in the fields of
Human-Computer Interaction
and
Visualization
. My broad research interest lies in designing and analyzing intelligent interactive technology that can increase the effectiveness of
Human-Human and Human-AI communication and collaboration
. In the past, I have also contributed to projects concerning Programming Tools, Affecting Computing, and Virtual Reality.

In my spare time, I like to hike, read, and practice martial arts. I'm also interested in linguistics, and enjoy exploring and comparing different languages.
