Welcome! I am a third-year Ph.D. in Binghamton University. My research focuses on human-centered AI, representation learning, machine learning, computational social science, and conversational AI. I am a member of the Complex Adaptive Systems & Computational Intelligence Lab held by Dr. Luis M. Rocha at Binghamton University.

I am conducting two research topics:

• User Trust Modeling in Conversational Agent. (Under the supervision with Dr. Sadamori Kojaku at Binghamton University and collaborating with Dr. Min Sun Kim at University of Hawaii at Manoa.)
• Community Energy Compass - Data-driven Visualization Toolkit Development. (Under the supervision with Dr. Neha Patankar and collaborating with Zero Lab held by Dr. Jesse Jenkins at Princeton University.)

Now I am actively seeking Research Internship. Please feel free to contact me if you think I match with any position that you provide or want to recommend to me. Email: xinwang35314@gmail.com
