Hi! It’s nice to meet you, albeit virtually. I’m a Web technologist, designer, artist, and curator. I’m passionate about bringing my technical expertise, design mindset, and aesthetic sensibility into crafting thoughtful experiences that help people understand the world on a deeper level.
In my creative studio practice, I’m broadly interested in exploring the use of digital technology in making interactive data archives / visualizations / experiences to facilitate public engagement with art, culture and history. I worked as a researcher at the Center for Open Science on Open Science Framework, a Web platform that publishes free-access scientific research data. In this year-long effort, I developed a socio-technical thesis to articulate the incentive structure of participation in the open science culture and the surrounding technical infrastructure. Since the early 2020 I created and curated the site IMMEMORY: on COVID-19, a digital archive of creative and thoughtful responses to the evolving pandemic crisis from around the world. I helped launch Jilu Commune, a website dedicated to sharing carefully curated knowledge and tools to help China-based nonfiction filmmakers network and grow professionally. I was the Web Ninja for CODAME, an org curating artist workshops at the intersection of art and technology, and I deviced art.empath.io, an interface that encourages audience engagement with artworks in museum settings. Currently I am working part-time as a creative engineer, designer and researcher at CAMLab at Harvard University, a interdisciplinary studio producing at the intersection between humanistic research and creative media practice.
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from University of Virginia, and a master’s degree in Computer Science from Stanford University, where I also received my training in Studio Art.
