May I be a blessing to whomever I meet..🩵

Hello!

I am a full-time research staff at University of Massachusetts Lowell (UMass Lowell), working under the guidance of Prof. Hong Yu. I earned my Bachelor's degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics from The College of Wooster, followed by a Master's degree in Computer Science from University of Massachusetts Amherst.


Research Areas

My research is centered on developing and evaluating AI-powered systems that aim to improve the well-being of marginalized communities, with a focus on education and healthcare settings.

[Updated Oct 2024] Here is my full CV.

Updates

  • [Sep. 2024]    Our preprint about diversity extraction from LLMs is accepted to EMNLP 2024!
  • [Aug. 2024]    I accepted an offer as a full-time research staff at University of Massachusetts Lowell!
  • [May. 2024]    Our preprint about benchmarking LLM evaluations on cognitive biases is accepted to ACL 2024!
  • [Mar. 2024]    My first NLP + HCI paper about human-AI collaboration is accepted to In2Writing Workshop @ CHI 2024!
  • [Feb. 2024]    Our paper about public health surveillance using social media and machine learning is accepted to LREC-COLING 2024!
  • [Jan. 2024]    A new preprint is out! My first 1st-authored paper in NLP domain! Check out how various types of LLM-generated data still lacks "humanness" through several stress testing!
  • [Nov. 2023]    A new preprint is out! Check out how much our novel method of criteria-based prompting can promote diversity and inclusion in LLMs!
  • [Sep. 2023]    A new preprint about LLM evaluation is out! Check out how much LLM evaluation are affected by cognitive biases and compare it with human alignment as well!
  • [June. 2023]    Elated to announce that I will be working as a full-time visiting researcher at Minnesota NLP!
