Hi, I’m Sam Wong 👋🏻
I’m a Research Assistant at the Paul G. Allen School at University of Washington, where I am working with Amy Zhang at the Social Futures Lab. My research is in Human Computer Interaction and Social Computing, specifically in building systems that facilitates understanding and participation in an online social setting. I am collabroating with Ruotong Wang.
I recently graduated from my Masters degree at Global Innovation Exchange from the University of Washington, where I worked with Jerry Cao from Ubicomp Lab in designing accessible eyedroppers for people with disability. I received my Bachelors degree in Cognitive Science and a minor in Computer Science from UC San Diego. Previously, I have worked with Yan Chen from Virginia Tech on building learning analytics tools.
Find me on GitHub, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Twitter or Google Scholar. You can also check out my CV.
