Hello, I'm
Xinye Wanyan.

Researcher · Human-centered AI & Web Interaction

I explore how people interact with intelligent systems and how we can make technology more thoughtful, reliable, and human.

A little
about me.

Hello! I'm a curious researcher who believes meaningful ideas can be both rigorous and imaginative.

My work lives at the intersection of human behavior, web interactions, and artificial intelligence. I enjoy asking how intelligent systems can better understand people—and what it really means for an AI system to be faithful to human experience.
