Hi, I’m Carol Zhang. I’m an incoming CS Ph.D. student at Florida State University, where I will be advised by Prof. Yifang Wang. I received my M.S. in Computer Science from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
My main research interests focus on Human-AI Interaction and
LLM Agents.
I have designed and developed conversational agents leveraging
NLP techniques to evaluate and intervene users’ environmental attitudes and behaviors.
Previously, I have worked with
Prof. Steven Dow at
UCSD Design Lab,
and 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.
I am happy to collaborate or just chat about research, my email is qiz065@ucsd.edu.
