I am Mia — an MS CS student at Stanford University. I am passionate about developing innovative creative tools for artists and designers.

During my time at Carnegie Mellon University, where I received Bachelors of Computer Science and Arts, I had the privilege of conducting research on generative systems under the guidance of Prof. Jun-Yan Zhu, and computational design under the guidance of Prof. Kyuha Shim.

Teaching is a passion of mine. I experiment as a comic artist, curating accessible educational illustrations on technical topics. I have had the honor to co-teach courses at SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia on Generative AI, incorporating visual narratives in the teaching material. In my free time, I also volunteer as a math tutor for preschool children at local schools in Palo Alto.
