PhD Candidate at UCF
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Engineering at the University of Central Florida, advised by Prof. Jiann-Shiun Yuan, set to complete my degree in May 2025. Supported by the ORCGS Doctoral Fellowship, my research focuses on understanding sociotechnical systems.
With experience across natural language processing, computational social science, biomedical informatics, computer vision, system design, and applied machine learning, I am passionate about building scalable AI systems that emphasize transparency, foster user trust, and contribute positively to society.
