"ruen" (/ru:n/)
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Southern California, supported by an Annenberg Fellowship. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Souti Chattopadhyay. Previously, I received my B.S. in Computer Science from Fudan University.
My research focuses on Human-AI Interaction. I design intelligent interfaces that help knowledge workers (e.g., researchers, developers) make sense of and make use of complex information.
