About Me

👋 Hi, I am Xinyue Chen. I recently completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, advised by Prof. Xu Wang. My research lies in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) and Human–AI Interaction. I am broadly interested in how people interact with, learn from, and collaborate through AI systems, and how we can design human-centered AI that genuinely augments human thinking, learning, and teamwork.

I will be joining the School of Artificial Intelligence at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) as an Assistant Professor (starting Jan 2027)!

📢 I am actively recruiting PhD students, Master's students, and research interns. I welcome students interested in a broad range of topics about Human–AI Interaction, including but not limited to human–AI alignment, critical use of AI, AI for education, AI for knowledge work, and AI for social good. If you'd like to work with me, please drop me an email with your CV!

Prior to Michigan, I received my B.S. in Information Management from Peking University. I was a research scientist intern at Microsoft Research (Tools for Thought group, mentored by Sean Rintel, Lev Tankelevitch, and Payod Panda) and Adobe Research (Document Intelligence team, mentored by Alexa Siu and Tong Sun).
