Director, CARE Lab (Collaborative Automation and Robotic Experiences)

I am an Assistant Professor of Human Systems Engineering in the Polytechnic School, Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. I received my Ph.D. in Information from the University of Michigan under the guidance of my incredible advisors, Dr. Lionel P. Robert Jr. and Dr. X. Jessie Yang.

I believe the best technology doesn't just work, it understands us. That belief drives everything I do. My research focuses on how social contexts influence our interactions with cutting-edge technologies such as AI, healthcare robots, and automated vehicles, and I aim to create a future where technology is not just smart but also empathetic.

As intelligent systems become woven into our daily lives, people deserve technology that respects who they are, responds to how they feel, and earns their trust over time. That is why empathetic design sits at the core of my research: it is the bridge between capable machines and meaningful human experiences. This vision has led me to design socially assistive robots that care for older adults aging at home through compassionate interaction, to study how a vehicle's voice and explanations build and sustain driver trust, and to explore how humans and AI can form complementary teams grounded in mutual understanding. My work has been published at top venues including CHI, HRI, HFES, and in journals such as Journal of Patient Safety, International Journal of Human–Computer Interaction, International Journal of Social Robotics, and Scientific Reports, and featured by the World Economic Forum, NPR, and CNET.

Intelligent systems can now drive, converse, and advise, but being capable is not the same as being helpful. My research asks how intelligent technologies can become true partners in people's lives, through three connected directions: understanding human needs and individual differences, because good help starts with the person; designing responsive interaction that supports human agency, so help arrives when and how people want it; and enabling complementary human–AI collaboration, so human and AI strengths contribute to better joint outcomes. Looking ahead, I study how years of living with intelligent systems can support people's independence, learning, and meaningful participation.

CARE Lab
Collaborative Automation and Robotic Experiences Lab
Director: Dr. Qiaoning (Carol) Zhang

The CARE Lab at Arizona State University investigates how people interact with intelligent systems, from socially assistive robots and automated vehicles to AI-powered tools. Our mission is to design technology that is empathetic, trustworthy, and grounded in real human needs. We combine human-centered design methods, behavioral experiments, and applied data science to create systems that genuinely care about the people they serve.

Equipped with a Furhat social robot, wearable eye tracking, and physiological sensing, the lab is moving from scenario-based studies to repeated, live interactions in which people can clarify goals, question recommendations, and redirect or decline assistance. Beyond trust and acceptance, we evaluate whether people understand their options, can steer the system, and continue to learn—including how well they perform when the AI is absent.

Direction 02 · Responsive Interaction

Explanation and Trust in Automated Vehicles

Understanding how a vehicle's voice, explanation timing, modality, and content influence the dynamics of driver trust, workload, and acceptance across different age groups.

This research program examines how design features of automated vehicle explanations (timing, modality, voice gender, voice similarity), human user traits (age, suspicion level, personality), and driving contexts interact to build and sustain trust. Recent work explores how AI voice gender congruity and cognitive vs. affective explanation content shape trust differently.

Teaching

I want students to ask what is worth building, for whom, and why—and to explain the evidence behind their choices. In HSE 521 and the HSE 477 capstone, students learn to understand users before they build and to back design decisions with evidence; capstone teams define feasible UX projects, navigate human-subjects research requirements, and present their work at a public poster session. These skills matter more, not less, as AI makes building easier.
