Hello there, I’m Shenming!😊

I’m a first-year Master’s student in Computer Science at Northwestern University. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and the University of Liverpool, advised by Prof. Jun Qi and Prof. Teng Ma. I also gained valuable research experience at Texas A&M University with Prof. Meng Xia, which greatly shaped my academic journey. I am truly grateful for the guidance of my mentors and the support of peers along the way!

My research interests include Human-Computer Interaction, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), Social Computing, Conversational User Interfaces, and Human-Centered AI. Recently, I focused on designing AI agents to help analyze human behavior and promote well-being. Feel free to contact me by email if you are interested in discussing or collaborating with me.

Outside of academics, I enjoy ⚽ soccer, 🎶 music, and 📷 photography. Feel free to check out my Plog for a glimpse of my photography journey~Thank you for visiting my page!
