I am currently an assistant professor of information systems in the College of Business, The University of Texas at Arlington. My research spans the general areas of Information Systems (IS), Computer Science (CS), and Marketing (MKT). My current research focuses on Trustworthy A(G)I. The following are some specific areas of my current research:
Security and privacy of (Generative) AI [4]
Aligning (Generative) AI with humans [1, 3]
Responsible (Generative) AI application [2, 5]
Across my research, I develop novel AI methods (e.g., Reinforcement Learning, Machine Learning, Deep Learning) to address the business and societal challenges.Â
Prior to joining UT Arlington, I received my PhD degree in Management Information Systems (MIS) at the University of Arizona.
