hi, i’m yuxi.

I’m a PhD candidate in computer science at Georgia Tech’s School of Interactive Computing, studying human-computer interaction and computer-supported cooperative work. I specialize in user privacy and social cybersecurity.

Specifically, I’m interested in collective action for end-user privacy:

• what motivates people to participate in collective empathy
• how people unite on demands for redress from big bad privacy-violating institutions
• and how to realize these desires.

I conduct mixed-methods research on such action through creating design probes and design fiction. I love surveys and interviewing.

I am co-advised by Sauvik Das and Keith Edwards. My research is supported by a Georgia Tech President’s Fellowship and a JP Morgan Chase AI Research Fellowship.

I’m on the academic job market this year, looking for tenure-track faculty positions!
