About Me

Hi, I'm Nan, a PhD student in Data Science at the University of Zurich (UZH). I hold an MSc in Computer Science (Informatik) with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence, also from UZH. Prior to that, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Beihang University (BUAA) in Beijing.

My research focuses on leveraging machine learning algorithms to address real-world challenges while emphasizing their interpretability and explainability. I’m also deeply interested in the fields of Human-Computer Interaction and Software Engineering, exploring how AI can be made more intuitive and accessible for everyone.
