👋 Welcome to my page! I am a MIDAS Data Science Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan, working with Anhong Guo. Recently, I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Singapore Management University, under the supervision of Kotaro Hara.
I received my Master of Science degree from National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. There, I was working with Hao-Chuan Wang (currently at the University of California, Davis) and Chien Wen (Tina) Yuan (currently at National Taiwan University). Before that, I received my Bachelor's degree in Information Technology and Systems from Monash University, Malaysia.
I am currently on the academic and industry job market this year (Fall 2026)!
Research Summary
Research Summary
My research interest lies at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Human–Computer Interaction, and accessibility, where I study how AI-mediated systems can be designed and personalized to meaningfully support mixed-ability co-creation and meet the needs of people with diverse abilities. Grounded in mixed-methods, human-centered research approach with blind and low-vision (BLV) users, my work investigates how accessibility can be scaled through human–AI collaboration and personalization, while remaining accountable to lived experience, user agency, and real-world use.
