Meng Chen
HCI + AI Researcher
My research is on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Human-AI Interaction. I use human-centered approach to design, build and evaluate systems that support accessible communication and effective alignment between Large Language Models (LLMs) and human intent.
I am approaching this goal through three steps:
  • 1 reduce the uncertainty and ambiguity in Human-AI collaboration;
  • 2 support validation and repair of AI-generated outputs;
  • 3 develop AI-powered interactive systems to enhance productivity, creativity, and accessibility.

I am a CS PhD student at The University of Texas at Austin advised by Dr. Amy Pavel. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Philosophy from the University of Notre Dame where I was advised by Dr. Toby Jia-jun Li of the ND HCI Group . Previously, I visited UCSD Design Lab working with Dr. Haijun Xia.
