Chloe Qianhui Zhao

Empathize. Code. Create.

Hi, I'm Chloe, a first-year PhD student in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, currently based in Seattle, WA. Here, I'm very fortunate to primarily work with Dr. R. Ben Shapiro. I design and study AI-powered tools inspired by the learning sciences, working across human-AI collaboration, intelligent user interfaces and AI in education. Before UW, I earned my M.S. at Carnegie Mellon University's Human-Computer Interaction Institute.
