I'm a first-year PhD student at NYU TMI, advised by Prof. Oded Nov. I received my bachelor's degrees in Data Science from Duke Kunshan University and Duke University, and my master's degree in Information Systems from Cornell Tech.

 

My interdisciplinary academic background inspired my research interests, which lies in the intersection of human-AI interaction, data science, healthcare & wellbeing. I've previously assisted research at Weill Cornell Medicine (2023), DKU HCI Lab (2021-2022), and interned for product and design work at Ketogenic.com (2023-2024), Tencent (2021), and iFLYTEK (2020).​​

​

Fun fact: my name "Haitong" is made up of two different Chinese characters - "hai" means ocean, and "tong" stands for the color of rising sun. Outside of research, I enjoy ballet, reading, and walking around the city (or talking, I'm always talking).
