Ongoing Projects as a leading researcher:

(1) Developing a framework to understand archival silences in digital preservation infrastructure, with Dr. Karen Wickett (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign) and Dr. Ruohua Han (University of Denver). Our recent findings on tracing archival silence of documenting Chinese immigrant community history is accepted by ASIS&T 2024. The article is available here.

(2) Applying critical archival and data studies principels to re-imagine a new vision for Computational Archival Studies (CAS), with Dr. Emily Maemura (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign). 

(3) Examining representations of Asian American queer communities in archives and faciliating a dialogue among Asian American critical race theory, queer theory, and critical archival and information studies. The collaboration is with Dr. Travis Wagner at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

(4) Critically assess the value of Machine Learning in identifying harmful content and description in archival materials to further develop trigger warning for users. The collaboration with Dr. Manika Lamba University of Oklahoma.
