Qing Shi

Welcome, I am Qing Shi (ηŸ³ι’).

I am an incoming Ph.D. student at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) and a member of the Augmenting People via Empowering X (APEX) Group, supervised by Prof. Mingming Fan and Prof. Tai-Kai Ng.

Previously, I obtained my M.Phil. degree from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), where I was supervised by Prof. Mingming Fan and Prof. Weikai Yang. I received my B.Eng. degree from Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics under the supervision of Prof. Zhiguang Zhou and Prof. Yuhua Liu.

My research interests focus on designing human-centered interactive systems that use AI and visualization to support learning, reasoning, collaboration, and sensemaking while preserving human agency.

  • AI for Education: Interactive AI tools that scaffold critical thinking, reasoning, reflection, knowledge construction, and self-regulated learning.
  • Human-Computer Interaction and Human-AI Collaboration: Human-centered systems that support sensemaking, collaboration, decision-making, and agency in AI-assisted workflows.
  • Visualization and Visual Analytics: Visual representations and interactive analytics systems for understanding complex cognitive, social, financial, and behavioral data.

I am looking for co-authors and collaborators. If you are interested in my research directions, please feel free to contact me at:
