About Me
I am a PhD Student in the School of Information at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at Southwest University, China, and Master's degree in the Department of Pyschology and Behavioral Sciences at Zhejiang University.
Previously, I was a research assistant at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Dr. Yaxing Yao, University of British Columba and Southwest University, advised by Dr. Qinghua He. I am also fortunate to have worked alongside distinguished professors such as Danny Yuxing Huang, New York University, and Haojian Jin, UC San Diego.
I am interested in usable security and privacy, and HCI. I use quantitative (e.g., survey) and qualitative (e.g., interview, content analysis) methods in my research.
