I got tenure! Our dean, @ISTtapia, met me in person and handed me the magic paper. I'll be an Associate Professor with tenure, effective July 1.
Thanks to everyone in @PSUCrowdAILab, my collaborators, mentors, friends, family & my caring, loving partner.
This is truly for you.
This is probably timely for the ChatGPT era-- Our #CHI2023 Late-Breaking-Work paper raises an interesting question:
Are conversations truly desired by users for every kind of question?

At #CHI2024, we try to do justice to #crowdsourcing by answering this question:
How does GPT-4's labeling ability compare to that of a realistic, well-executed MTurk *pipeline*?
Led by @StevenHe918, we publish our love letter to crowdsourcing: arxiv.org/abs/2402.16795#LLM 1/🧵
Doing a PhD is not easy. Sometimes it's uncertain, sometimes it's stressful. -- But today is not one of those days.
Today I successfully defended my PhD thesis.
Today is officially my first day as an Associate Professor at Penn State.
Thanks again to all the past, current, and future members of @PSUCrowdAILab. Let's do something even more interesting.
Couldn't think of a better time to get our job posting approved by my university-- Penn State's IST is hiring TWO tenure-track faculty in HCI!
If you're at #CHI2024, I'm around. Come ask me questions!
Super happy that I decided to come to #UIST2023 to witness VizWiz @jeffbigham won the Lasting Impact Award! VizWiz is really an amazing project that inspired me and many of my peers. Congratulations!!
Imagine having a paper about Xiaohongshu (RedNote, 小紅書) accepted at #CHI2025 with the best timing possible.
Big congratulations to @Ruyuan_Wan's very first first-authored CHI paper :) Stay tuned and see you all in Japan!
People say, in academia, we should celebrate even small victories.
I've recently been acknowledged for my teaching efforts. I'm part of the 2023 Dean's Circle of Teaching Excellence at my college :)
We've been together for 12 years, among which 8 years were long-distance between the U.S. and Taiwan.
Some personal news: We're married. We live in State College now.
