About Me

Hi, I'm Shihan Fu, a current CS Ph.D. student at Northeastern University. Before that, I got my Master degree at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology majoring in computational media and arts (CMA).


I design AI systems that provide situated support for people navigating complex tasks across health, learning, and everyday decision-making contexts. Through understanding diverse user needs and designing multimodal interactions, my research explores how AI can adapt to different contexts while preserving user autonomy and agency.

If you would like to talk about my work or get connected, don't hesistate to contact me.
