Biography

Zhenhui Peng is an assistant professor (lecturer) in the School of Artificial Intelligence, Sun Yat-sen University (中山大学 人工智能学院). Before that, he was a postdoctoral researcher in Aalto University (阿尔托大学), working with Prof. Antti Oulasvirta. He got his Ph.D. degree in Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. Xiaojuan Ma. He received his Bachelor degree in ESE from Nanjing University in 2017. His research interests are in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and its intersection with Artificial Intelligence, currently about 1) technological support tools for human's high-level thinking tasks (e.g., decision-making, problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity) , 2) understanding and facilitating human-human communication online (e.g., via instant messengers or forums), and 3) intelligent tutoring systems.
