EXPERIENCE

Augmented Intelligence Lab at the University of Waterloo

Researcher (Part-Time/Full-Time) 

September 2019 – Present

I have been an active member of the Augmented Intelligence Lab at the University of Waterloo in the past few years. I have been involved in projects related to

  • human-AI collaboration;

  • crowdsourcing;

  • conversational agents;

  • learning by teaching;

  • virtual reality.

University of Waterloo

May – August 2023

Teaching Assistant (Part-Time)        

I assisted 36 students for CS449/649: Human-Computer Interaction, a course in which the students learned how to design software by understanding the corresponding users. The 36 students were divided into 8 groups; I assisted each group in completing a separate software design for a real-world problem by providing feedback on how to brainstorm ideas, gather information about potential users through interviews, and design usable interfaces.

Davis Lab at Harvard University

Undergraduate Researcher (Full-Time, Co-op) 

September 2018 – April 2019

I Independently developed CrowdCurio based on its old version. CrowdCurio was an annotation platform that was used by Harvard biologists to collect through crowdsourcing. More than one million plant specimen image annotations were collected using the updated version of CrowdCurio before I left the position.

In addition, I implemented a barcode decoder using open-source libraries, which was used to remove a significant number (>1%) of unwanted plant specimens from Harvard botanists' datasets.

I improved the user interface and data processing/searching functionalities of the Customer Relationship Management Website.

I also wrote data analysis reports. Two of them were chosen as templates for future data analysis reports at Shoplogix.
