Tzu-Sheng Kuo
郭子生

I am a third-year PhD student in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where I am very grateful to be co-advised by Prof. Ken Holstein and Prof. Haiyi Zhu.

I create interactive systems and design methods that support community-driven approaches to AI design and evaluation. Working closely with communities ranging from local residents in Pittsburgh and online groups on Wikipedia, my research explores how communities can actively shape AI design toward their goals and values, and assess appropriateness for their contexts. My research has received Best Paper and Honorable Mention Awards at top HCI conferences, including CHI and UIST. I have also been recognized with a CASMI PhD Fellowship and a Taiwanese GSSA Fellowship.

Previously, I hold an M.S. from Stanford University, where I worked with Prof. James Landay and Prof. Elizabeth Murnane in the Stanford HCI Group. I also graduated summa cum laude in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University, as a Phi Tau Phi Scholar and Irving T. Ho Fellow.

Research interests: human-computer interaction, social computing, participatory design, responsible AI
