Hello

I'm Zicheng, a postdoctoral researcher at the AI4SG Lab, School of Computing, National University of Singapore, where I'm supervised by Dr. Yi-Chieh Lee. My research centers on human-AI interaction, with a specific focus on personal agents/agentic AI assistants and AI for human well-being.

I completed my Ph.D. in the Department of Communications and New Media at National University of Singapore, advised by Dr. Renwen Zhang and Dr. Alex Mitchell. I hold an M.Sc. in Marketing Communication Research from Boston University and a B.A. in Internet and New Media from Sun Yat-sen University.

I’m looking forward to discussions and collaborations!
