I am currently doing my Ph.D. in Human-centered computing at Clemson University, and expect to graduate in May 2019. I received my master degree in Industrial Design at Georgia Tech in 2015.
​My research interests lie in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) with a focus on usable privacy and security. Advised by Dr. Kelly Caine, I am doing research on photo privacy protection on Online Social Networks (OSNs). We employed both quantitative and qualitative methods to conduct a series of online experiments with MTurk participants. These studies provide recommendations for future photo privacy protection mechanism development.
