Raymond Fok

Ph.D. Candidate
University of Washington
rayfok (at) cs.washington.edu


I am a final year Ph.D. candidate at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, advised by Daniel Weld. My research lies at the intersection of HCI and NLP, with a particular focus on designing, developing, and evaluating interactive, human-AI systems that protect and augment complex cognition. My recent work explores various knowledge work applications, including scholarly communication, workplace productivity, and AI-assisted decision making.

Throughout my PhD, I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with researchers at AI2 (Semantic Scholar), Adobe Research, and Google Research. Prior to joining UW, I received my B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, where I worked on crowdsourcing and mixed-initiative systems.

I am on the industry job market! Please feel free to reach out to discuss relevant opportunities for Research Scientist, Applied Scientist, or related roles.

Research Areas: Human-AI Interaction, HCI, Explainable AI, Applications of NLP
