I am a Ph.D. student specializing in Educational Technology at the University of California, Irvine, where I am advised by Dr. Mark Warschauer and Dr. Penelope Collins. I also work closely with Dr. Ying Xu from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Prior to joining UCI, I completed my master’s at Harvard Graduate School of Education, advised by Dr. Catherine Snow. My research explores the intersection of child-computer interaction and education, with a focus on creating innovative technology solutions to support children’s learning. I am currently working on an NSF-funded project that develops conversational science narrative videos to promote children’s STEM learning.
