- MIT Center for Constructive Communication
I graduated from MIT with a PhD in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Human-AI Interaction (HAI), and Computational Social Science (CSS), supervised by Professor Deb Roy. My research goal is to foster a healthier and more connected society with AI. To achieve this goal, I develop NLP/ML methods leveraging large language models (LLMs) to understand human communication at scale and build interactive human-AI systems to bridge social divides.
Research Interests
I am broadly interested in the following research directions:
- Social NLP: incorporate social factors into natural language understanding and generation
- Human-centered AI: design human-centered AI systems for effective human-AI collaboration
- AI for social sciences: apply AI to facilitate research in social and cognitives sciences
A brief bio:
I completed my undergrad at Emory University in Computer Science and Linguistics and obtained my M.S. degree in Symbolic Systems at Stanford University. I worked at Stanford NLP Group, Stanford Language and Cognition Lab, and Emory NLP Lab. I have also worked as an intern at Ai2, Google, IBM, Apple, Educational Testing Service (ETS), and CMU.
