5th year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science (Advisor: Prof. Jim Hendler) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI).

His research interests lie at the intersection of NLP and HCI, currently focusing on enhancing human-AI collaborative workflow in various real-world scenarios. He had worked closely with researchers from IBM Research and Prof. Dakuo Wang from Northeastern University.



People often ask me why I don’t have a profile photo. The truth is that I haven’t been in front of a camera in almost a decade, except for renewing my driver’s license and passport. So, despite my fellows “strongly recommending” me having a profile photo, I don’t really have a picture to put here (and other social networking platforms) yet. This challenging task is on my radar, though.
