About Me

I am a Ph.D. student at Stanford University, primarily advised by Professor Daniel McFarland in the MIMIR Knowledge Creation Lab. I also work closely with Professor Victor R. Lee in the Data Interactions & STEM Teaching and Learning Lab (DISTAL).

Research Interests

I use computational methods — including natural language processing, social network analysis, and causal inference — to model how innovations and ideas emerge, spread, and take root across social systems. I am particularly interested in:

• Knowledge Diffusion: how ideas are produced, selected, and diffused through scholarly communication and peer review
• Innovation and Technology Adoption: how organizations and social systems respond to and integrate emerging technologies
• AI in Education: how AI-empowered tools are adopted and used in secondary education
