Democratize knowledge and empower people to make informed life choices.
Motivation
My roadmap for achieving my research goals involves several key steps. Firstly, I plan to continue studying the latest developments in technology and platforms to advance my knowledge of algorithms and AI. From there, I will develop AI-powered teaching tools that can help bridge the gap in education for children in rural areas and seniors seeking new job skills. My goal is to democratize knowledge and empower people to make informed life choices, regardless of their backgrounds or access to resources.
I am inspired by the story happened to me of an elderly African American woman I met who had lost her job and was homeless, begging for food at McDonald’s. At that time, I was a student and just paid my insurance fee and do not have a lot of money. I hesitated for a while, I did not offer her a meal. I am still embarrassed about it. It is my firm belief that everyone deserves equal opportunities to reach their full potential. I plan to continue collaborating with the tech community to promote social change and create a better future for all.
Most of the time, I feel mentally and physically exhausted from studying and research. However, there are moments when I consider myself fortunate to have the opportunity to engage in academic pursuits, and these instances inspire me to strive for meaningful achievements.
