School of Library and Information Studies, University of Oklahoma
My research focuses on the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI), interactive information seeking/retrieval, and cognitive psychology, and seeks to apply the knowledge learned about people interacting with information in adaptive recommendation, user education, and intelligent nudging.
School of Library and Information Studies, University of Oklahoma
My research centers on the social and affective aspects of informal learning and information behaviors with innovative technologies across libraries, museums, makerspaces, and online environments, with a particular focus on children’s interest development and agency.
PhD Students
My research interests are in Large Language Models, Interactive Information Retrieval, and Human-Computer Interaction. My work aims to improve user experience and system performance in Human–AI interaction by understanding user behaviors and integrating state-of-the-art models.
My research interests include Human-Computer Interaction and User Studies. My previous work on assessing the usability of a Learning Management System helped me explore users’ cognitive biases and how they perceive and use learning technologies.
