My research interests mainly sit at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction, Social Informatics, and Health. Specifically, I am fascinated by how humans adopted technology in response to their living conditions and vulnerabilities, particularly in illness management contexts.
Currently, I am a first year Ph.D. student at at The Pennsylvania State University's College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST). I am advised by Dr. Saeed Abdullah from the College of IST and affiliate with the WHI lab. Prior to joining the College of IST, I was advised by Dr. Elizabeth Eikey from the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science and The Design Lab at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Dr. Eikey is also the Director of the Mental Health in Design Lab (MiD), and the Assistant Director of the iSchool Inclusion Institute (i3). Under Dr. Eikey's guidance, my familiarity with research development increased through different projects. I looked at the roles of technology (e.g., social media, mobile applications) to marginalized populations (e.g., immigrants) that struggle with depression, including other health-related concerns. I am looking forward to the opportunities that await and am always happy to chat with individuals considering graduate education! |
