I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Information Technology with a concentration in Information Sciences and Technology at the School of Computing, George Mason University. My research focuses on Computational Social Sciences and Information Sciences, where I apply data-driven and computational methods to study social phenomena and improve information access. My broader interests include Computational Social Sciences, AI for social good, Community Informatics, Civic Technology, and Health Informatics.

I am currently a Graduate Research Assistant working with Dr. Myeong Lee at the Community Informatics Lab, where I collaborate on projects that leverage computational approaches to address societal challenges.
