Research Focus

My research goal is to develop AI methods and solutions that deeply attuned to human needs and behaviors. I use interdisciplinary research approaches, including advanced computing techniques and qualitative user studies, to decipher the complex interactions between humans and sociotechnical systems. The insights are applied for decision-making and creating intuitive and empowering AI applications. I have publications in top computer research conferences, including AAAI, EMNLP, ICWSM, NAACL, and prestigious journals, such as IJHCI and JASIS&T. I am the PI of two applied research grants supported by the IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services): Inclusive Services to Enhance Immigrants' Resilience to Crisis (LG-256661-OLS-24) and Gauging Library Needs for Advanced AI-Assisted Cataloging (LG-256666-OLS-24).
