About Me

I’m a 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 through {Experimental Design, Agent-based Simulation}. Currently, I am particularly interested in 1) improving evaluation methods and 2) enhancing negative sampling techniques.
