CHEN!

PhD candidate in Computer Science

Advised by Prof. Xiaojun Bi · Stony Brook, NY

I’m passionate about what, in the age of AI, remains irreplaceable in the human spirit and experience.

My work focuses on multimodal input: using speech, touch and more so that computers and LLMs interact and collaborate with people in ways that fit how people actually work. I value principled thinking as much as the concrete engineering details that make it real.

Beyond research, I’m also a music producer and a singer.
