Yixuan (Janice) Zhang

Janice is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at William & Mary. She received her Ph.D. in Human-Centered Computing from Georgia Tech in 2023.

Her research broadly lies in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Human-LLM Interaction, Data Visualization (VIS), Trust and cross-disciplines of health informatics and STEM education.

She and collaborator Meredith Kier received GRI Accelerate funding to develop an AI-powered assessment system that analyzes student dialogue, identifies strengths and misconceptions, and suggests instructional moves. By making students' reasoning visible, the proposed system will enable teachers to provide timely, personalized feedback that would otherwise be impossible to deliver at scale.
