Writing

My research interests revolve around the socioeconomic effects of scientific and technological advancements. I am particularly intrigued by the intersection of human-centered AI (responsible integration of AI that aligns with human values), social data science (quantitative and computational methods to dissect social behaviors on the internet), and affective computing (cognitive processes in computer-mediated interactions for emotionally natural and intuitive design).
