Hi, I am Xinyu Shi, a fourth-year Ph.D. student at University of Waterloo in Canada. I am lucky to be advised by Prof. Jian Zhao in WatVis Research Group, affiliated with the WaterlooHCI Lab.
My research focuses on Human-AI Interaction (HCI), particularly, Design Intelligence and AI-Powered Creativity Support Tools. The goal of my research is to design, develop, and evaluate interactive systems to facilitate graphic design authoring and enhance human creativity.
Outside of research, I am keen on exploring new possibilities in my life. I love skiing, playing badminton, rock climbing (only belay, no bouldering), and travelling. I have two cats, they are so sweet!
