Hello! I am currently a fifth-year PhD student in the College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) at Pennsylvania State University. I'm currently working with my advisor Dr. Xinning Gui.
My research lies at the intersection of Health Informatics, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and Data Science. Recently, I am studying consumer-facing healthcare technologies, such as AI-enabled symptom checkers and conversational agents (chatbots). I am also interested in social media.

Personal life
I was a volunteer for many organizations, such as GAIN (Global Aid Network), Hope Bridge group, Chunmiao Orphan Family group, and etc... I was also a voluntary guide at the Former Residence of Cai Yuanpei and Shanghai Science & Technology Museum.
I have many hobbies, like badminton, archery, painting, and cooking. I also love playing with cats very much (though I don't have one because I'm lazy...)!
