My research focuses on the intersection between digital humanities (DH) and artificial intelligence (AI), broadly integrating perspectives from digital curation, archives, and science and technology studies. I study how emerging technologies transform the humanities at multiple levels: (I) infrastructures that preserve and present cultural memory, (II) scholarly communities that negotiate their adoption and use, and (III) literary texts and cultural data that can be interpreted through AI.
I received my Ph.D. in Library and Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh (2022). Previously, I obtained a Master of Library and Information Science and a Master of Arts (M.A.) in East Asian Studies, both from the University of Pittsburgh, and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Chinese Classics from Renmin University of China (Beijing, China).
