I’m a Ph.D. student at Edinburgh University, School of Informatics. My research involves using digital data to track the affective, cognitive, and behavioral changes of users, identifying the associations between digital signals and symptoms of mental disorders. I am interested in early symptom detection as a human-centered approach to assist interventions and early prevention of mental disorders or harmful behaviors. Along the way, I deeply care about ethical research practices, model bias and fairness. My work also involves understanding model biases and examining the ‘noise’ in social media signals. I am writing up my Ph.D. thesis at the moment and looking for a post-doctoral research position.
