Welcome! I am Wesley Deng. I am a Second-year Ph.D. student at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) at Carnegie Mellon University, School of Computer Science. I am co-advised by Ken Holstein (CoALA Lab) and Motahhare Eslami (4A Lab). I also have the fortune to work closely with Haiyi Zhu.
I previously graduated with the Highest Honor from UC Berkeley majoring in Computer Science. I did research with Niloufar Salehi and Kimiko Ryokai through the EECS Research Honor program. I also did Design with Eric Paulos.
My current research interests are Human-centered Machine Learning, Algorithmic Accountability & Transparency, and, more broadly, Human-AI Interaction. Currently, I am building frameworks and systems to study how to better support industry practitioners in building more responsible AI systems, espeically those powered by generative models. Feel free to reach out through Email or Twitter!
