I am a social psychology PhD student at The Ohio State University working with Dr. Kurt Gray. I study how large language models (LLMs) and social media algorithms influence our moral and empathic behaviors, particularly toward victims. I study how social media amplifies misinformation through algorithms and content of posts. As Dr. Gray's graduate student, I am constantly exposed to polarization and misinformation.
