Experiences

I conduct computer science research in human-computer interactions, information visualization, natural langauge processing, and AI4Science. 

Research Experience

University of Pennsylvania - Human-AI Collaboration for Scientific Discovery. 

Advisor: Prof. Andrew Head

Position: Fully-funded Research Intern

Duration:  Incoming (Summer 2026)

Research Areas: AI Agents, AI4Science, Human-AI Collaboration.

William& Mary - Agentic AI for Scientific Research. 

Advisor: Prof. Qingyun Wang

Position: NLP Research Intern

Duration: November 2025 - Present

Research Areas: AI Agents, AI4Science, Natural Language Processing. 

I am responsible for the technical development of an agentic system to simulate AI scientists. I am working on a multi-agentic pipeline to accelerate scientific experiment execution. I conduct computational experiments to benchmark our proposed systems and design use cases to demonstrate the usability and effectiveness of our system.  

Visual Intelligence Laboratory - Visualization for Explainable AI. 

Advisor: Prof. Qianwen Wang

Position: Research Team Lead

Duration: April 2024 - Present

Research Areas: HCI, Visualization, Human-centered AI. 

I'm a Research Team Lead at the Visual Intelligence Lab, UMNTC, where I am advised by Prof. Qianwen Wang. My primary research areas are human-computer interactions, visualization, and human-centered AI systems. I am also actively working on sub-domains such as cognitive/behavioral modeling, gamification, and educational technologies. 

As a Research Team Lead, I have successfully completed three Research and development projects and produced two full papers, one short paper, and one workshop presentation, all as first authors. My major works included an interaction tool for GNNs, an educational game for LLMAS, and a cognitive modeling toolkit for scientific writing. 

Besides my scientific research work, my other responsibilities included interviewing/mentoring new members, project management, and planning. 

TURBO Telescopes Group - Crowdsourcing for Scientific Discovery

Minnesota Institute for Astrophysics, UMN - Advised by Prof. Patrick Kelly and Dr. Mandeep

Position: Research Assistant(Internal Tools Development)

Offered: September 2023 - April 2024

Research Areas: Crowdsourcing for Scientific Discovery, Multimessenger Astronomy, Astrophysics.

I was responsible for the technical development of an internal crowdsourcing system for asteroid classification, which helps the training process of our machine learning algorithms. I also developed several internal tool utilities for the TURBO Telescopes, including an image processing pipeline, an internal watchdog system, and an image storage module. 

Engineering Experience

iQIYI Smart - Motion Capture User Interface in VR

Beijing Dream Blossom Tech Ltd. (formerly iQIYI Smart)

Position: VR Development Intern

Offered: July 2022 - October 2022

I was responsible for the technical development of a motion capture interface in VR on the Oculus platform. I utilized tools such as Unity 3D, Blender, and OpenXR Toolkit. The project included a humanoid model integrated with inverse kinematic and a motion capture system.
