I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at UC Davis, advised by Prof. Hao-Chuan Wang. My research interest lies at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), and Social Computing. I study and build interactive systems that facilitate knowledge-based communication and collaboration. More specifically, my dissertation work aims at supporting online knowledge sharing and acquisition by enhancing the interativity of video-based learning and teaching from the angle of computer-mediated communication.

Prior to joining UC Davis, I received my B.S. degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Minnesota.
