Chenxinran Elise Shen
HCI Researcher
My research focuses on Computer Mediated Communication (CMC), particularly on how alterations in voice and visual presentation influence self-perception and perceptions of others. My work leverages AI and VR technologies and spans various CMC scenarios, including intergenerational communication, gaming, and online dating. I received Honorable Mention Awards at CHI 2024 and CHI 2021 🏆 as the first author.
I am starting my PhD studies in Computer Science at the University of Toronto, where I’ll be working with Prof. Daniel Wigdor
Prior to this, I completed my Master’s degree in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia, under the co-supervision of Prof. Joanna McGrenere and Prof. Dongwook Yoon.
