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 designed and developed conversational agents leveraging NLP techniques to evaluate and intervenue user's environmental attitudes and behaviors through in-game decisions.

Recently, I have also explored improving the accessibility of AI productivity tool.

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.
