Master's Student in Computer Science &
Ph.D. Student in Cognitive
Science
University of Wisconsin-Madison
My research focuses on using machine learning to improve human-machine
interactions.
I am currently an
M.S.
Computer Science and
Ph.D.
Cognitive Science student at University of Wisconsin - Madison.
Before that, I was a
full-time research
associate at Center for
Artificial
Intelligence and Advanced Robotics
conducting
research
on social cognition module for assistive robots.
My expertise includes data science, AI, ML, conducting research on human-machine interaction.
I am looking for 2021 summer internship as a data scientist, a machine learning engineer, an
applied scientist, or a software engineer!

Research Question: On Facebook, do people discuss politics mostly with those within the same filter bubble, i.e., who share the same political stances?
Research Question: In the human brain, how are "fraction numbers" encoded?
Research Question: How personal value (i.e., the values you appreciate in life) modulates our decision-making in our brain.
