Research Interests
Computational Creativity
My research interest is computational creativity, particularly for scientific discoveries. My ongoing work involves AI reasoning frameworks, knowledge representations, and human-AI collaborations. Hopefully, you will see some preliminary results from my work late this year!
Human-Computer Interaction
I researched building better user interfaces by utilizing the power of AI at the DGP lab. My work has been seen in large-scale computer science courses, also at the prestigious XPrize Digital Learning Challenge.
