Hello World!
I'm Sherry Tongshuang Wu
(吴彤霜)!
Assistant Professor
School of CS, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU SCS)
Human Computer Interaction Institute (HCII)
Language Technololgy Institute (LTI)

I am trained (by my amazing PhD advisors Jeffrey Heer and Dan Weld at the University of Washington) to be an HCI+NLP researcher. I study how humans (AI experts, lay users, domain experts) interact with (debug, audit, collaborate) AI systems.

Most recently, I work on:

Build practical AI systems, by mapping general-purpose AIs to the right specific use cases.
