PhD Candidate at Zhejiang University

Yumeng Zhu

Hi! I am a PhD candidate at Zhejiang University, College of Education (graduating in June 2026). I am supervised by Yan Li and co-supervised by Fei Wu, Wenzhi Chen, and Xuesong Zhai.

I was a visiting PhD student at Oxford University, Department of Computer Science, Human-Centered Computing Group, supervised by Jun Zhao during 2022-2023.

My research lies at the intersection of Educational Technology (EdTech), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and AI Curriculum Design, with a particular focus on supporting early adolescents' formal learning.

I am deeply committed to designing EdTech tools and learning experiences that empower children, families, and educators by promoting both learning autonomy and digital agency. With a strong foundation in statistics, I apply mixed-methods research to generate nuanced insights, and I am actively exploring large language model (LLM) toolkits such as LangChain to develop intelligent, education-focused solutions.
