Hello, and welcome to my website. I am Yuanxi Fu (傅元曦), a doctoral student in Information Science at the School of Information Sciences, UIUC. Rosa was originally my Starbucks name, but it has grown on me, so feel free to call me Rosa as well.
I made a career transition from chemistry to information science in 2019. I am now on my way to receive a second PhD, this time in information science, which I expect to complete in 2027.

It took me a while to find myself. In the end, I came to recognize that my interests lie in reasoning and argumentation, and that I am a deeply conceptual person, fascinated by how we can project the physical world into the digital world. I finally find my home in information science.
I owe much to the iSchool at U of I for helping me find my way. There, I was fortunate to be mentored by generous and brilliant scholars in theoretical information science, argumentation studies, philosophy, science and technology studies, machine learning, and natural language processing.
I am now finishing my dissertation and am excited about the next chapter of my life. I hope to give back to the world with the same kindness and generosity I received at U of I.
