I am a first-year PhD student in Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Yun Huang at the SALT lab. I have a master’s degree in public policy management from Carnegie Mellon University and my bachelor's in Political Science and Library and Information Science from National Taiwan University.
My current research focuses on three key areas: 1) informing AI practitioners about potential privacy risks throughout the AI development cycle, with the aim of minimizing challenges for developers and enhancing privacy awareness in AI product design; 2) human-AI value alignment; and 3) developing a taxonomy for usable privacy notices and choices. I am also interested in working on emerging technology policy.
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.
