My research interests are in the broadly defined area of digital humanities, with particular foci on digital archives and curation, computational literary studies, and scholarly communication. I use mixed methods to explore how critical collective adoption of information technologies (e.g., AI, visualizations) produces and communicates humanities knowledge, shapes the intellectual identities of digital humanists as a research community, and leverages the gained insight to design and curate digital cultural archives and datasets for humanities research.
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).
