Broadly, I research how to advance human-centered AI design. I believe that working with stakeholders to surface context and inform the development and implications of technology is incredibly important in light of increasingly sophisticated AI being deployed across society without sufficient consideration of use cases and impacted communities. Thus, I focus on:
- using co-design methods to understand how individuals and communities interact with and are impacted by technology and AI; and
- developing frameworks and prototyping tools to support participatory AI design with diverse stakeholders, including non-AI experts.
My current projects encompass: participatory AI design & provenance ‣ workplace technology and knowledge making ‣ tech policy of local governments.
I am advised by Dr. Min Kyung Lee, and I am a member of the Human-AI Interaction Lab at the UT Austin iSchool. You can check out my wedding photography work here or here!
