Biography
My research focuses on Human-AI Interaction, Human-Machine Communication, and Computer-Mediated Communication. I am particularly interested in their implications for both society and individuals. For example, I explore questions such as: (1) How does interaction with AI influence people’s subsequent interactions with others? and (2) How does communication with AI affect people’s decision-making on health and other issues? Currently, I am seeking a Ph.D. position with the goal of pursuing an academic career.
