About me

I received the B.S. degree from Tsinghua University major in Computer Science and Technology, in 2023. My research interest lies in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), especially interaction techniques and Human-AI collaboration.
I am currently a Ph.D. student in Usable Privacy Lab (UP Lab), advised by Prof. Xin Yi, Tsinghua Univesity, Beijing, China. I focus on privacy and security problems in various interaction devices and interfaces. During my studies, I gained valuable research experience through internships at several institutions: the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with Prof. Nanyun Peng, Stanford University with Prof. James Landay, and the University of Washington (UW) with Prof. Anind K. Dey. Specifically, my research interest focused on usable privacy and security issues during human-AI interaction, including investigating mitigation strategies of errors during human-AI collaboration (e.g., mistrust caused by hallucination of LLMs) and privacy issues when adopting AI system (e.g., smarthome personal assistant).
