My name is Sixing (Jonathan) Tao, a junior studying Computer Science and Sociology at the University of Washington, with a focus on human-centered AI. I am currently working with Prof. Jacob Wobbrock and Prof. Audrey Dorélien at UW, as well as collaborating with Prof. Jane E at NUS. Previously, I conducted research with Prof. Xin Yi at Tsinghua.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Human-AI Alignment, Creativity Support, and Accessibility. My work focuses on designing, building, and evaluating AI-powered systems that empower human expression and champion inclusive computing.

I grew up in Shanghai, China. When I'm not researching, you can find me sailing, traveling, or behind the camera. Always happy to chat—feel free to reach out!
