Wei Xiong

PhD Applicant · Fall 2027

I study how people and intelligent systems learn to work together.

I am a researcher working at the intersection of human–computer interaction and applied machine learning. My work combines interface design, system building, and empirical user studies to understand how people make sense of algorithmic systems in everyday practice.

I am currently applying to PhD programs and looking for advisors who care about building systems, studying them rigorously, and writing about them clearly.

Research interests

01

Human–AI collaboration

How people build, revise, and repair mental models of adaptive systems during real work — and how interfaces can make that process legible.

02

Interactive systems for sensemaking

Building tools that externalise reasoning, so complex evidence can be explored, compared, and argued about rather than merely consumed.

03

Methods for studying emerging tech

Combining prototype deployment with mixed-methods evaluation to produce claims that hold outside the lab.
