RESEARCH PROFILE

Chao Zhang is an Assistant Professor in Human-Centered AI in the Human-Technology Interaction group at Eindhoven University of Technology (果冻传媒). His research interests lie in the relationship between psychology and technology. Examples include the psychological implications of new technologies, or using  technological innovations to understand human behavior. He has accumulated a line of research into combining data-driven methods (such as machine learning and computational modeling) and psychological theories in order to understand and facilitate positive behavior change, build expertise through real-world intervention studies, and model complex and time-intensive data. His recent work also extends to intended and unintended social characteristics in AI-driven systems and how these impact human perception and behavior.

My passion for research lies at the intersection of psychology and technology.
