Jingwen Bai

PhD Student in Computer Science
National University of Singapore

I am a PhD student in the NUS Ubicomp Lab, advised by Prof. Brian Y. Lim. My research spans human-centered AI, explainable AI, and human–AI collaboration. I design interactive systems that help people understand, evaluate, and work with AI to support performance and learning.

Previously, I received my M.Eng. in Computer Technology and B.Eng. in Software Engineering from Peking University. I have worked on HCI and AI research with collaborators at SUSTech, Peking University, and the University of Waterloo.
