Chang Xiao (肖昶)

I’m a Research Scientist at Adobe Research. I obtained my PhD from Columbia University. I am broadly interested in the intersection of HCI, AI/ML, and AR/VR, with a special focus on leveraging AI/ML to develop human-centered interaction techniques. I aim to develop techniques that bridge the digital and physical worlds, fostering a more integrated and intuitive user experience. I have also worked on developing trustworthy ML models that produce consistent and reliable output. I am a recipient of the Snap Research Fellowship (2019) and the Cheung-Kong Innovation Doctoral Fellowship.

My research outcomes have had various impacts beyond academia. At Adobe, I have presented my research twice during Adobe’s annual event, Summit Sneaks (2022, 2024). These features have also been integrated into Adobe Commerce’s product, the AR Viewer and Adobe Experience Platform. My past work has received more than 50 media interviews and coverages, including by CNN, Adweek, CACM, and IEEE Spectrum. I also hold 10+ US patents.

I’m always on the lookout for interns and collaborators. If you’re interested in my research and would like to collaborate, please send me an email.
