Hello, I am Vivian

I work at the intersection of Human-Centered AI, the Learning Sciences, and Data Science.

My work focuses on investigating how intelligent systems impact human learning, cognition, and behavior, using empirical methods to design and evaluate better interactions between humans and AI.

My Key Strengths

Mixed-Methods Research Expertise I bring solid research rigor in both qualitative and quantitative methods, generative and evaluative research by synthesizing user insights and modeling user behaviors.

Rigor & Empathy I bring both methodological rigor and human-centered empathy to uncover insights and drive solutions for complex sociotechnical challenges.

Translating Complexity into Clarity I am able to synthesize ambiguous user needs, technical constraints, and business goals into clear insights and action plants.

Systems Thinking I excel at zooming out and understanding how systems, power structures, and contexts shape user experience.

Implementation Mindset I have a strong understanding of technical constraints and feasibility, and able to approach research with implementation in mind.

Data Fluency & Visualization I am skilled in presenting data through visualization for research, analysis, and storytelling purposes, using tools like Python, R, Tableau.

Cross-Functional Collaboration I have collaborated with designers, PMs, engineers, and researchers in Agile environment.
