Hi!
I’m Tee, a human-centered researcher. I have a PhD in Computer Science (Human-Computer Interaction) from the University of Notre Dame.
I am currently a Human Factors Engineer at Southwest Airlines.
News
- December 10, 2024: Excited to be a guest speaker for NeurIPS Queer in AI 2024!
- May 20, 2023: Officially walked for my graduation from University of Notre Dame!
- April 24, 2023: Gave my first in-person talk on my paper, Understanding Gender Transition Tracking Habits and Technology, at CHI in Hamburg
- March 30, 2023: Successfully defended my PhD dissertation, Designing the Trans Experience: Technology and Common Gender Transition Narratives
- March 6, 2023: Started my new job at Southwest Airlines
Research Background
I am well-versed in both quantitative and qualitative research methods and am constantly learning new research methods and data analysis techniques. My previous research examines the ways that we can use technology to better trans lives through providing greater access to lifesaving and gender-affirming care. My dissertation focuses on the trans community's use of technology to gain information and resources for gender transition and to track gender transition.
Research Trajectory
While I am no longer in academia at the moment, I am working with researchers at the University of Michigan to investigate ways to facilitate communication between gender-affirming surgeons and members of the trans community. Technology is evolving rapidly, and the sociopolitical climate for the trans community is quickly changing, and I strive to position myself and my work so that it is relevant to the new changes we are facing.
I am always looking for people to collaborate with. If any of my work thus far sounds interesting, please get in touch!

Past Projects
I've been involved in multiple computing projects outside of research.
Transverse: Gender Dysphoria Management AppAndroid app that helps trans people manage and track their mood and gender dysphoria. I designed and tested the prototypes using Figma and Maze, and developed the app using Java.
Diagnostic Assistance Software for Mental Health Care ProvidersUndergraduate thesis project to assist mental health care providers by developing a neural network that predicts possible diagnoses of mental disorders. Developed using Theano running on top of Keras.
Kettering University Open ForumCampus-wide online forum for students to discuss issues of day-to-day life. Developed in conjunction with Cole Heathcock, Tyler Craig, George Reeves, and Andrew Cicchinelli as part of Web Software Tools term project using HTML/CSS, PHP, and MySQL.
