Senior Applied Scientist @Microsoft Office of Applied Research | Human-AI Collaboration | Natural Language Processing | PhD @uwcse
Seattle, WA
Joined January 2019
Thrilled that our paper analyzing Microsoft Copilot for consumer and WildChat-1M logs received a Senior Area Chair highlight award at @emnlpmeeting! I'm excited for work on "LLMs in the wild" and grateful for all the energy and interest we received at the #EMNLP2025!
🤔 We know what people are using LLMs for, but do we know how they collaborate with an LLM? 🔍 In a recent paper we answered this by analyzing multi-turn sessions in 21 million Microsoft Copilot for consumers and WildChat interaction logs: https://t.co/W1bmrE3Ddt
