I am a PhD student in Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, advised by Professor Yun Huang. I have a master’s degree in Public Policy Management from Carnegie Mellon University and a bachelor's in Political Science (International Relations) and Library and Information Science from National Taiwan University.

 

My research interests are broadly in human-computer interaction, usable privacy, human-AI value alignment, and responsible AI. My current work focuses on developing tools to 1) help practitioners identify and address potential privacy risks throughout the AI development lifecycle, and 2) educate students about responsible AI practices.

In my free time, I am passionate about studying, reading, and learning about policy and politics (recent interest: cognitive warfare, with a particular focus on information control in both authoritarian and democratic regimes).

Feel free to reach out if you're interested—I'm happy to chat about AI privacy risks and human-AI value Alignment. Contact me at yuju2@illinois.edu.
