[next] I will be starting at NUS Computing as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2025 and will be recruiting PhD students in the upcoming year (please reach out if you might be interested)! Prior to that, I will be postdocing at Stanford HAI, mentored by my PhD advisor James Landay, while starting as an Adjunct Professor at NUS and an affiliate with the Smart Systems Institute.[past] I just finished my postdoc at The Design Lab @ UCSD as part of the debut cohort of UCSD CSE’s Postdoctoral Fellows Program, where I was mentored by Haijun Xia and Steven Dow. Prior to that, I graduated from Stanford University with a PhD in Computer Science where I was coadvised by James Landay and Pat Hanrahan.[research] My research lies primarily at the intersection of human computer interaction and computer graphics. Broadly, I’m interested in thinking about how to design computational tools that can support users in developing domain expertise, which I currently explore within the domain of creativity. My work takes inspiration from cognitive science and education theory to design computational tools that scaffold novices’ creative processes. Inspired by how expert artists have trained their eyes to “see” in a certain way, I aim to design guidance that helps novices develop their own “artistic vision”—and in doing so, support them in developing their own artistic expertise.[other] On the side, I am a dancer 🩰 and a photo enthusiast 📷. I am a foodie 🍛 and also a lover of fitness 🤸🏻‍♀️.
