Pan Hao

Hi! I'm Pan Hao, and I go by 潘 昊 in Chinese. I'm a 2nd year Computer Science Ph.D. student at University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, working with Qianwen Wang as a member of the Visual Intelligence Lab.

My research centers on Human-AI Interaction, where I build interactivity that helps people intuitively engage with agentic systems across the interaction lifecycle for reliable alignment: designing, situating, auditing, and steering AI.

I received my B.Eng degree at Wuhan University. I’m honored to have worked with Brian Lim, National University of Singapore in Explainable AI; and Fan Hong at Wuhan University in Cultural Tourism AR Visualization.

Please reach out if you think we share ideas :) pan00342@umn.edu
