Qinshi (Carol) Zhang

Hi, I'm Carol Zhang. I'm currently a first-year 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 developed conversational agents that engage users about environmental challenges. Recently, I have also exploared enhancing the accessibility of AI in productivity tools that allow users to interact with these systems in a more enjoyable and effortless manner.

Currently, I'm working 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 2024.
