Research Interests
My research lies in the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Privacy/Security, and Accessibility. I aim to enhance people's privacy literacy and empower them with more control of their privacy in our increasingly complicated socio-technical environment.
My work covers various technological contexts, including AI, embodied AI agents, and online privacy, and several user groups, including at-risk populations such as people with disabilities, children, and teenagers.

AI-Powered Privacy Awareness and Control
Building AI-powered systems that enhance users' awareness of data practices and give them more meaningful control over their privacy.
Privacy Notices in Emerging Technologies
Designing privacy notices for contexts such as VR and AI, and evaluating them using methods including eye-tracking technologies.
Dark Patterns
Empowering users to recognize, reason about, and combat manipulative interface patterns.
Accessible and Safe Social VR
Supporting flexible and safe self-representations for people with disabilities in social VR, and studying ways to ensure teenagers' safety in immersive social environments.
