Research Assistant, McFarland ProgramBioI use computational methods — including natural language processing, social network analysis, and causal inference — to model how innovations and ideas emerge, spread, and take root across social systems. I am particularly interested in:
- Knowledge Diffusion: how ideas are produced, selected, and diffused through scholarly communication and peer review
- Innovation and Technology Adoption: how organizations and social systems respond to and integrate emerging technologies
- AI in Education: how AI-empowered tools are adopted and used in secondary education -

Grad Writing Tutor, Hume Center
Proofreader, Hume CenterBioAs a PhD candidate in Developmental and Psychological Sciences at Stanford, I study how early childhood experience, cultural background, and education shape children's social-emotional development. I use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including surveys, interviews, and experimental tasks, to understand the development of core social-emotional skills like emotion regulation and executive functioning in ethnically-, culturally-, and socioeconomically-diverse child populations.
I am passionate about applying developmental science to inform educational policy and practice. My goal is to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and practice in early childhood education by working with students, parents, and teachers to create evidence-based and culturally-responsive curricula and interventions that will improve students' social-emotional outcomes and well-being. -
