Huang holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and a Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering from Nanjing University. Her current research focuses on human-computer co-creativity, especially human-AI co-creation in digital narrative and other creative media practices. She designs and implements systems that foster human-AI collaboration. She observes human behaviors when people interact with AI, through which she discusses how human imagination and creativity are influenced by generative AI through the philosophical lens of “posthumanism.”

Her PhD research began with a systematic literature review on human-computer co-creativity, where the role of design was emphasized to perceive human-machine relations. She then delved into the speculated human-machine relationship through speculative design methodologies, notably with the “Infinity Book” project—a system that creates any fictional text from minimal user input—complemented by a series of workshops. Her research later shifted towards emerging human-machine relations in literary expression, in both static and dynamic senses. For static literary expression, she chose poetry as the research vector and asked the research question: “What forms do human-machine collaborations take in the context of poetry creation; in what tasks do writers attempt to engage their machine partners?” In terms of the dynamic sense, she explored how large language models (LLMs) can serve as design materials for interactive digital stories (IDS), particularly in the remediation of the Chinese classic novel Hong Lou Meng (Dream of the Red Chamber).

Huang is proficient in various programming languages, including Python, Java, JavaScript, C++, etc., which equip her with the technical skills necessary to implement innovative AI-driven solutions in her PhD projects. Her interdisciplinary expertise will greatly contribute to integrating generative AI within interactive storytelling frameworks, ultimately enriching narrative engagement and cultural heritage.
