Zheng Wei

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the KAIST Interaction Lab (KIXLAB), working with Prof. Juho Kim. I received my Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction from the VisLab at HKUST, where I was advised by Prof. Huamin Qu and Prof. Pan Hui. My academic journey includes roles as a Visiting Researcher at the University of Chicago’s Knowledge Lab (with Prof. James Evans) and as a Research Intern at Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) (guided by Dr. Yun Wang).

My research bridges Visual Analytics, Human-Centered AI (HCAI), and Extended Reality (XR). Driven by the principle of the “human–AI loop,” I investigate how intent capture and collaborative feedback can enhance human agency. My current work focuses on two pillars:

Immersive Environments for Skill Training: Facilitating expert learning and skill acquisition through interactive systems.

Human–AI Collaboration: Designing multi-agent systems that foster seamless co-creation between humans and generative AI.

My work has been published in premier venues including CHI, UIST, IEEE TVCG, and VR, earning Best Paper Honorable Mentions at IEEE VR and ICSC. I actively serve the community by organizing courses at SIGGRAPH and taking on chair roles for CVPR Workshop and ACM MMSys. Beyond academia, my systems are supported by multiple grants. Ultimately, my goal is to shape AI systems that make complex information intuitive and open innovative pathways for responsible artistic expression.
