Biography
Hua Shen is a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Washington Information School and the Center for Responsibility in AI Systems & Experiences (RAISE). Her work anchors in HCI and intersects with multiple AI fields, such as Natural Language Processing, Speech Processing, Computer Vision, and Data Science. Particularly, her research focuses on bidirectional human-AI alignment, aiming to empower humans to interactively explain, evaluate, and collaborate with AI, while incorporating human feedback and values to improve AI systems.
Her research has been recognized with multiple awards and honors, including Best Paper and Best Interactive Event Award at AIED 2024, Best Demo at CSCW 2023, Best Paper Honorable Mention Award at IUI 2023, and 2023 Google Research Science Conference Scholarships. She was selected as the 2023 Rising Stars of Data Science. She obtained her Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University from 2019 to 2023 and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan.
