Hi, I am Xinyu Shi, a third-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 and enhance human creativity.

Outside of research, I am keen on exploring new possibilities in my life. I am a beginner of skiing and rock climbing. I enjoy travelling and playing piano. I have two cats, they are so sweet!
