About

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech, advised by Prof. John Stasko. I am currently studying how large language models can support visual data analysis. I also have broad interests in data visualization and visual analytics, especially for geographic data. Previously, I worked with collaborators at Sanida National Labs on designing visualizations to support electric grid operators.

Before Georgia Tech, I attended Duke University as an undergraduate student. I worked with professors Jun Yang and Sudeepa Roy on database projects such as HNRQ. I was also engaged in interdisciplinary research through the Bass Connections program at Duke. I worked in the MCAB Lab under the supervision of professor Gregory Samanez-Larkin.
