ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Shenming (Simon), a first-year master's student in Computer Science at Northwestern University. I received my bachelor's degree from Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and the University of Liverpool, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Jun Qi and Prof. Teng Ma. I also spent time at Texas A&M University as a visiting research intern with Prof. Meng Xia. Those experiences shaped how I think about research, collaboration, and building systems that support people more thoughtfully.

My research interests include Human-Computer Interaction, Human-AI Interaction, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), and Social Computing. 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!

I am applying to PhD programs and remain open to any research assistant (RA) or collaboration opportunities. Please feel free to contact me about any potential openings : )
