Hello World, I'm Joyce! 👋
I am an incoming PhD student at 
Stanford University, advised by Dora Demszky. My work is graciously supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
My research lies at the intersection of human-AI interaction, education, and natural language processing. I study the translational and implementation science of AI systems to develop scalable and sustainable education measures.
In May 2026, I received my Bachelor's in Computer Science (with Honors), Statistics, and Digital Studies from 
Grinnell College. I was supported by the Founder's Scholarship (full-scholarship) and was also a recipient of the Henry and Theresa Walker Endowed Prize for Excellence in Computer Science. At Grinnell, I primarily worked with Sarah Purcell, Samuel Rebelsky, and William Rebelsky.
Previously, I interned at 
Carnegie Mellon University HCII with Paulo Carvalho, 
Columbia University with Brian Smith, and 3 startups.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, cafe-hopping, playing the harp, hiking, and spending time with my friends, family, and dog. Please feel free to reach out for any reason!
