Katelyn Xiaoying Mei

I'm a third-year PhD student in Information Science at the University of Washington. I'm fortunate to be advised by Lucy Lu Wang and Katharina Reinecke. Before my PhD, I spent four amazing years at Middlebury College from which I obtained my Bachelor's of Art in Psychology and Mathematics.

My research interests derive from the intersection of psychology, humanties, and data science. My projects focus on human behaviors in the age of generative AI, including 1) how individuals are impacted by AI systems, 2) how people engage with AI systems differently, and 3)what can (cannot) facilitate effective Human-AI collaboration.
