Advisor: Mina Lee

Before joining UChicago, I did my undergrad at Barnard College, double majoring in Computer Science and English with a concentration in Creative Writing. I was fortunate to be advised by Jhumpa Lahiri, for my Creative Writing Thesis. Throughout my undergraduate career, I did research with Professor Lydia Chilton on Human-AI co-writing tools to support science communication and with Professor Smaranda Muresan on using explanation dialogues to improve science explanations and press release report generation.

Currently, my research is in Human-AI interaction with a focus on understanding how technology can deepen student learning by fostering intrinsic motivation and sustained resilience.

I am currently focused on two domains: (1) how to promote information-seeking behaviors when students use LLMs, and (2) how the social dynamics around student’s help-seeking behaviors influence their interaction behaviors.
