Zheyuan Kuang

I am currently a MPhil student at the University of Sydney, primarily supervised by Dr. Zhanna Sarsenbayeva, and co-supervised by Associate Prof. Anusha Withana. Prior to this, I worked as Research Assistant at PolyU with Assistant Prof. Sunny Choi. I obtained my bachelor’s degree from the Nanchang University, supervised by Prof. Jiaxin Zhang and Dr. Yunqin Li.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction, Affective Computing, Multimodal Learning, and Extended Reality. I am particularly interested in how multimodal signals can be integrated to better understand human states in interactive and immersive settings. My long-term goal is to improve real-world human-AI interaction by developing systems that are robust, trustworthy, privacy-aware, efficient, and responsibly deployed for applications that directly affect people’s daily lives and wellbeing.
