Shenming Ji
Hi, I'm Shenming (Simon), a rising second-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 a wonderful summer 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-AI Interaction, AI in Education, and Computational Social Science. 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 currently applying to PhD programs for Fall 2027 and am also open to research assistant and collaboration opportunities. Please feel free to reach out if you see a potential research fit!
