About me

I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Information at The University of Texas at Austin. I am part of the Information eXperience lab (IX Lab), and supervised by Dr. Jacek Gwizdka.

My research interest is to study how cognition is related to and influences users’ perception and utilization of the information systems by collecting implicit data. I apply neuro-physiological methods, such as eye-tracking, to study the cognitive developments in information search. Currently, I am focusing on how cognitive biases influence information seeking behavior.
