I am an Anna Julia Cooper Research Fellow (2025-26) and an incoming assistant professor (starting in fall 2026) in Educational Psychology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I earned my joint Ph.D. in Quantitative Psychology and Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame in 2025, advised by Prof. Zhiyong Johnny Zhang and Prof. Meng Jiang. Prior to that, I received my B.S. in Computer Science and Technology from Sichuan University in 2020.

My research develops psychometric and computational methods for understanding psychological and behavioral processes, drawing on machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and computational social science. I’m interested in:

AI-enhanced psychometrics

• Latent variable models integrating text and measurement data
• Data simulation with large language models (LLMs)
• Causal inference with text data

Understanding AI through psychometrics

• Measurement frameworks for evaluating LLMs
• Validity, reliability, and fairness
• Response style and behavioral patterns

I enjoy interdisciplinary collaborations and frequently work with researchers in education, health and wellbeing, and digital culture.
