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, causal inference, and simulation — to study how institutions evaluate ideas and innovations, and how these evaluative processes shape knowledge diffusion, technological adoption, and organizational decision-making.

I am particularly interested in:

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