I am an Assistant Professor of Learning Analytics and Educational Data Mining at Teachers College, Columbia University, where I direct the AEQUITAS Lab. I am also a faculty member of the Data Science Institute. Prior to my current position, I received my doctorate from UC Irvine and master’s/bachelor’s degrees from Peking University. These degrees span education, public policy, computer science, and economics.

My research focuses on responsible AI for educational and society. I have won multiple best paper awards and nominations at international research conferences, as well as accolades from international research organizations such as American Educational Research Association and Alan Turing Institute.
