I investigate the influence of technology on individuals' health and well-being, focusing on the interaction between humans and technology. His primary research explores the variations in people's trust towards health-related artificial intelligence and identifies the factors that distinguish trust in artificial intelligence from trust in medical professionals. Additionally, my secondary research objective endeavors to understand the effects of smartphones on health, specifically examining their impact on sleep patterns and social connectedness. Through these investigations, I aim to deepen our understanding of the complex relationship between technology and human well-being, thereby informing the development of future interventions and strategies to promote healthier technology usage. 

I am currently in the fifth year of my Psychology Ph.D. program with a concentration in Human Development and Public Policy Ph.D. program.  I hail from sunny Southern California and have extensive previous research experience in health and social psychology. After obtaining my Ph.D., my goal is to continue working in academia and use both my Psychology research and Public Policy expertise to study the current and future impacts of technology and how it may better complement our lives. I will be looking for Post Doc positions this next year.
