INTRODUCTION

I am an Assistant Professor in the Information Technology department at the University of Kansas, where I teach a diverse range of courses including predictive analytics, software engineering, and data structures. I earned my Ph.D. in Information Science with a concentration in Data Science from the University of North Texas in 2024.

I serve as a program committee member for the International Council on Knowledge Management (ICKM) and actively contribute as a peer reviewer for esteemed journals and conferences such as ASIS&T, ALISE, JIKM, and Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, among others.

Research Interests and Mission

                 My research interests include:

• Social Media Analytics

• Information Behavior

• Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs)

• Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics

• Misinformation Generation and Diffusion

• Knowledge Management

My research mission is to explore how people interact with information—how they seek, use, and share it—particularly in the contexts of healthcare and education. I am also committed to advancing our understanding of how misinformation spreads online and how knowledge can be effectively managed in digital environments.

Personal Interests and Quote

Outside of academia, I enjoy reading, walking, and exploring data storytelling through visualizations.
