Building equitable AI for
marginalized communities online.
I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Computer Science at UCLA, advised by Kai-Wei Chang. I am supported by the Eugene V. Cota-Robles Fellowship and the GEM Fellowship Program.
My research focuses on:
1Applications of NLP methodologies for bias mitigation and quantification in social science
2Studying dialectical biases in existing machine learning systems
3Assessment and development of community-grounded content moderation approaches to support marginalized digital communities
This culminates under the goal of engaging with, studying, assessing, and critiquing socio-technical systems people encounter everyday — while developing more inclusive and equitable alternatives.
✨ Beyond research, I love community service and watching anime!
