Chengbo Zheng 郑成博

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), advised by Prof. Xiaojuan Ma.

I completed my undergraduate studies in computer science at Chu Kochen Honors College, Zhejiang University (ZJU). During this period, I was very lucky to work with Prof. Yingcai Wu and Prof. Kwan-liu Ma. Additionally, I am honored to be one of the Morningside Cultural China Scholars.

My research focuses on human-AI interaction. I employ human-centered design principles to design, develop, and evaluate interactive AI systems aimed at augmenting humans in seeking, synthesizing, and leveraging information. My work also encompasses speculative design, design fictions, and co-design methodologies to envision and explore the future role of AI in contexts such as decision making and learning.
