Shitao Fang

Greeting! I recently completed my Ph.D. at the Interactive Intelligent Systems Lab, University of Tokyo, advised by Prof. Koji Yatani, and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Zhejiang University, where I worked with Prof. Hongsheng Chen and Prof. Zhaowei Liu (UCSD).

My research focuses on human-AI systems and agentic interaction, with an emphasis on designing, modeling, and evaluating AI systems that collaborate effectively with humans. I am particularly interested in designing multiparty conversational agents, training AI agents to make decisions, and supporting human decision-making with those AI systems in complex, real-world settings.

Outside of research, I enjoy alpine touring skiing, watching films, and walking my dog, which influence how I think about autonomy, judgment, and freedom in the age of AI.
