Hi, I’m a 4th-year CS undergraduate at School of Information and Technology at ShanghaiTech University. In Fall 2023, I was an exchange student at University of California, Berkeley.

My research interests focus on Human-Centered Computing, with the goal of understanding and modeling human behavior and societal dynamics influenced by technology. I employ a mix of methods, such as interviews and ML, to explore these dynamics from various perspectives, including industrial structures and social media. Ultimately, I aim to contribute to the development of technology that positively impacts society.

At ShanghaiTech, I am a research intern in ViSeer LAB supervised by Prof. Quan Li, where I actively participate in research projects on HCI, Data Visualization, and Social Computing.

I am also a crazy fan on histroy and strategy games like Paradox, enjoying Europa Universalis IV!
