Hi, I’m Harry!

Hi, I’m Harry!

I am a 1st year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto, advised by Prof. Michael Liut and Prof. Carolina Nobre in the Dynamic Graphics Project (DGP) Lab. I am also part of the ​CS Education Research Group​ at the University of Toronto.

Previously, I was an undergraduate student in Computer Science at the University of Toronto and a research assistant at the DGP lab. I had the privilege of collaborating with Profs. Tovi Grossman, Michelle Craig, Tingting Zhu, and Joseph Jay Williams. In addition, I have experience as a Full-Stack Software Developer Co-op at Oracle, having completed a year-long internship that started in May 2022.

Research Interest

My research is centered on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and education, with a focus on the following areas:

Educational Technologies

I am dedicated to exploring the potential of advanced technologies in shaping the future of education. My approach is through personalized, scalable, and highly efficient delivery methods and interfaces. With a background in Computer Science Education, I have been involved in several real-world projects in this domain.

CSCW

I’m always interested in the area of CSCW (Computer-Supported Cooperative Work) where I can create innovative solutions and leverage the power of collaborative computing to unlock possibilities in people’s everyday lives, including personal and professional aspects of studying and working.

Human-Centered AI

My work aims to enhance the explainability and trustworthiness of modern AI systems. I am particularly focused on their application in educational settings, assessing their practical implications and broader societal impact.
