Hi! I’m Qing Xiao, a PhD student at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). My research lies at the intersection of HCI/CSCW, management and organizational communication. I investigate how various professionals, organizations, and communities engage with emerging technologies, such as GenAI, algorithms, robotics, and agents, through computational, experimental, survey-based, and qualitative methods. My work examines the sociotechnical practices and implications of these technologies, aiming to understand how emerging technologies reshape collaborative work and organizational communication. In parallel, I build interactive tools that support collaborative work and enrich human-AI interaction in organizational settings. I also engage in speculative design to explore future-oriented possibilities and reimagine how emerging technologies can more meaningfully support collaborative practices.
