This is Kexin :D
Hey!
I am a passionate HCI/AI Researcher with more than 3 years of experience in human-centered studies and with strong coding skills (Python, R, Machine Learning). I am curious about and interested in human-centered NLP/AI research in understanding ways to bring human-centered thinking to create interactive tools, thus better-supporting communities and special populations.
My HCI interests were brought by my first undergrad lab experience, where I worked with Prof. Yingqing Xu at Tsinghua University, the Future Lab. I was intrigued by the potential power that Human-AI could bring to humans, thus I continued to explore more. Later on, I joined the UCSD Design Lab, working with Prof. Steven Dow and Prof. Stephen MacNeil. Currently, I am a visiting researcher at Cornell DesignAI Group, working with Prof. Qian Yang; I also continued my research studies with Prof. Stephen MacNeil at Temple HCI LAB.
