Bio

I am a Ph.D. student at the Department of Communication, Michigan State University. My research is situated in the intersection of interpersonal communication and human-computer interaction (HCI). One focus is on interpersonal AI, for example, in online dating and human-chatbot interaction. Another focus is on social support and networking.
