About

My name is Jackie Tang, and I am a fourth-year PhD candidate at the University of Illinois, conducting research in Professor Bosch’s Human Learning Lab and the Bashir Privacy Lab.

My focus areas include:

Human-Computer Interaction, Human-AI Interaction, Human Factors, and Human-Agent Teaming

Trust plays a pivotal role in how individuals engage with automated systems, whether they are robots, virtual assistants, or AI-driven tools. As a human factors researcher, my focus is on understanding the intricate dynamics of trust in agents, particularly in the context of human-agent interaction. By investigating the psychological and environmental factors that influence this trust, I aim to develop models and guidelines that enhance collaboration between humans and agents.
