I’m a postdoctoral research fellow advised by Nils Gehlenborg at the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard University. I am also the DEI committee of the Department of Biomedical Informatics and an accessibility ambassador of Harvard Whole Me Campaign.

I work at the intersection of information visualization, human-computer interaction, and biomedical informatics. I am currently focusing on developing innovative ways for a broad range of people (incl. people with and without disability) in the biomedical workforce to access, analyze, and visualize biomedical data.

In the HIDIVE Lab, I have been focusing on the Gosling grammar-based genomics data visualization which was featured by Nature. I have been also contributing to the Consortium for Clinical Characterization of COVID-19 by EHR (4CE) through interactive visualizations for data accessment, analysis, and communication.

Some of my other research interests include designing interactions, interfaces, and visualizations in the general area of human-computer interaction, such as mobile visualizations, shoulder-surfing problems, and one-handed smartphone interactions.
