Hi! I’m Jenny. I’m a final year Ph.D. Candidate in the Information Science Department at Cornell University, I’m affiliated with the interplay research studio directed by Malte Jung. I design and evaluate the impact of AI-mediated communication tools on people’s emotional and social well-being. With a training background in cognitive science and design research, I applied a wide range of in-person and remote research methodologies, from large-scale surveys to participatory design workshops. One of my current works examined how augmented reality glasses affect social interactions through a human-centered design approach.

Previously, I was a visiting research scientist with Honda Research Institute (US and EU), a visiting researcher in the Social Technologies research group at Cornell Tech, working with Mor Naaman, and a visiting scholar at Brown HCI, working with Jeff Huang.

I am on the academic job market for a tenure-track assistant professor/ postdoc starting from 2026!
