Principal Researcher
About
I am a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research Montreal where I am part of the FATE group. (opens in new tab) I am a human-computer interaction (HCI) by training and have broad interests in human-AI interaction. Most recently I have been working on explainable AI and responsible AI. Before joining MSR, I worked at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center and studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Tsinghua University.
My research received multiple paper awards at ACM and AAAI venues. I serve as the Co-Editor-in-Chief for Springer HCI Series, and on the Editorial Board of IJHCS and ACM TiiS. I frequently serve as a Senior PC/Associate Chair for CHI, CSCW, IUI and FAccT conferences. I also actively organize events (e.g., workshops (opens in new tab), panels (opens in new tab)) that connect the HCI and AI communities.
