About Me

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Purdue University, advised by Professor Jason Wu. My research interests lie broadly in human-computer interaction and AI, with a particular focus on generative UI and intelligent interactive systems.

Previously, I studied Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Data Science Engineering at the University of Michigan. At Michigan, I had the privilege of working with Professor Steve Oney on web automation. I also spent a wonderful summer at the University of Notre Dame, where I worked with Professor Toby Li on human-agent collaboration.
