Hi! I’m currently a Direct PhD student at ETH Zurich, supervised by Prof. Andreas Krause. I am deeply passionate about developing AI solutions that are beneficial to society and align with human values. I previously graduated from The University of Hong Kong, and I also spent some time at UC Berkeley (Center for Human-Compatible AI), Stanford University and Columbia University prior to ETH. You can call me Cynthia or Chen Xin (陈欣). My current research interests span across:

• Improving robustness and reliability in decision making algorithms (reinforcement learning / imitation learning),
• Learning the right human preferences/intentions, and
• Representation learning.

I am grateful to be supported by the Open Phil AI Fellowship and the Vitalik Buterin PhD Fellowship for my research.

To help with growing the AI alignment research field, I am among the main organizers of SafeAI workshop at AAAI and AISafety workshop at IJCAI. The best way to reach me is through my email chexin AT ethz.ch.
