Service
Community-building and research, for me, come from the same commitment: giving people a real say in the systems they are part of. My research studies how users can shape the platform mechanisms around them; my service helps members shape the communities and institutions they belong to.
University of Michigan · 2026–Present
Organize a university-wide biweekly seminar and social mixer for the computational social science community at the University of Michigan.
University of Michigan · 2025–Present
Lead the association by defining clear committee responsibilities and giving members the autonomy and support to design and run their own events. Rather than centralizing events, the association connects these independent groups as a shared channel. Recognized as Student Organization of the Year (UMSI Student Leadership Showcase, 2025–2026).
Hong Kong Baptist University · 2024–2025
Elected by the undergraduate body to the University Senate; built department-level discussion groups reaching several thousand students and channeled consolidated student concerns into institutional governance. HKBU Outstanding Student Leaders Award (2024–2025).
Social Service Association, Hong Kong Baptist University · 2022–2023
Planned and ran a wide range of volunteering activities — including rural volunteer teaching in Yunnan, mountain clean-ups, a blood donation drive, and animal shelter work — coordinating logistics, volunteers, and partner organizations end to end. I also managed the association's outreach across its social media channels to grow participation. This was where I first learned to organize community activities in practice.
