I'm a third-year PhD student at Cornell Information Science, advised by David Mimno.
My research focuses on developing NLP tools that promote personal perspectives. Through my work, I challenge the objectivity of computational models and think about how NLP tools, including LLMs, could empower domain experts and voices of marginalized communities, especially in contexts involving subjective decision-making.

I'm looking for internship for Summer 2025. If you think I could be a good fit, please drop me an email!

Prior to joining Cornell, I was a data scientist at New York University's Public Safety Lab. I worked on the Jail Data Initiative with Orion Taylor and Anna Harvey. I was also a contributor in g0v ("gov-zero"), a grassroot civic-tech community in Taiwan, where I worked on the 0archive project.

For potential PhD applicant: I’m happy to chat about PhD applications and my PhD experiences. Feel free to email me.
