About Me

I’m a first year Ph.D. student in Information Systems at Emory University.

Research Interests

My research interest lies at the intersection between societal and technical aspects of the real world. In terms of methodologies, I focus on integrating Machine Learning with Causal Inference. Specifically, I’m interested in considering multiple modalities together to uncover novel features that can explain the mechanism of human decision-making within the context of {E-commerce, Online Platform}. Additionally, I am passionate about exploring Recommender Systems using {Experimental Design, Agent-based Simulation}. For instance, I am curious about the construction of recommendation sets to address the diversity-relevance trade-off.
