I'm Stephen Yang, a UX and HCI researcher. I’m currently a senior at Cornell University studying Communication and Information Science. This summer, I will be interning at the Social Media Collective at Microsoft Research New England!
As a researcher, I study participatory approaches to AI design with Prof. Qian Yang, and I study mobile social media practices on the margins with Prof. Lee Humphreys.
I run a bi-weekly column in the the Cornell Daily Sun where I write about the shifting landscape of technology and culture. My most recent article discusses what the internet trend of “yassification” reveals about the gendered ideals embedded in the design of AI-powered photo-editing apps.
I was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, where I spent my childhood finding new spots for taro desserts. I miss them all the time when I'm in the U.S.
