Hi! I am a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at North Carolina State University (starting Fall 2025), where I lead the Extended Horizon Lab. Our group explores how Extended Reality (XR, including AR, VR and MR) and AI can be designed to support learning, collaboration, and social connection.

Previously, I was a postdoc at Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, working with Prof. Vincent Aleven. I received my PhD from Grouplens Research Center at the University of Minnesota, luckily advised by Prof. Lana Yarosh. Prior to that, I received my Master’s degree from the Institute of Automation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Bachelor’s degree from Shandong University.
