Hi, I am Xinyi Lu, a third-year PhD student at University of Michigan, advised by Prof. Xu Wang. Before that, I got my B.S degree from both University of Michigan (majoring in Computer Science), and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering).

I'm interested in AI in Education, My research focuses on designing assistance for creating high-quality educational content, which ultimately supports students in developing expertise for complex and challenging tasks. Specifically, drawing on theories and methods from Learning Science and AI Interpretability, I design AI assistance that aligns with experts’ cognitive processes, while preserving their full agency throughout the process. I also investigate how effective the human-AI co-created educational content is for learning. To design and evaluate these innovations, I apply both qualitative lab studies and large-scale classroom studies.
