Hi, I'm Carol Zhang. I'm currently a Computer Science Master student at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
My main research interests focus on AI for Social Good and
Human-AI Interaction.
I have designed and developed conversational agents leveraging
NLP techniques to evaluate and intervene users’ environmental attitudes and behaviors.
I have worked with
Prof. Steven Dow at
UCSD Design Lab.
I also have worked with
Dr. Ray LC at HK CityU,
resulting in a
co-first authored paper
published at CHI’24 and a
first-authored paper
at CHI’25.
Other Curiosity
Beyond above, I also like exploring psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, biology, and social sciences in my spare time, and I am particularly curious about how insights from these fields can inform my own research.
I believe many impactful research ideas emerge not from incremental progress within a single field, but from cross-disciplinary connections.
