Hi! I'm Evey (yes, like the Pokémon). I'm currently a postdoctoral research fellow at Kellogg School of Management and the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems (NICO), working with Prof. Brian Uzzi.
My research sits at the intersection of human-AI collaboration, design research, and computational social science. I design, build, and study human-AI systems that help people learn, reflect, and collaborate more effectively—especially in complex, real-world domains like entrepreneurship, scientific discovery, and innovation. I earned my Ph.D. from the Technology and Social Behavior program, a joint degree in Computer Science and Communication at Northwestern, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Liz Gerber and Prof. Matt Easterday .
Right now, I'm exploring how we can use multimodal AI to understand team dynamics and behaviors that lead to high-impact science, and investigating how AI is reshaping how scientists work, collaborate, and generate knowledge.
When I'm not doing research, you'll probably find me behind a camera (digital or film), on a tennis court, reading, doodling, cooking spicy food, or hanging out with my chubby cat, Jumi.
