Bingyi Han, Ph.D.

Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellow   |   Musician

Hello!

I am Bingyi (pronounced Bing-yee). I do research and music.

RESEARCH (SIDE A). I am a Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellow affiliated with the Department of Computer Science at Saarland University. My research spans Human–AI interaction, AI in education, and AI ethics. I design AI-enabled conversational agents that foster critical reflection and curiosity in self-directed learning.

I love human beings and all living things ✨! I am curious about how they feel, think, behave, and perceive the world. But I wouldn't' define my interest as only human-centered. As machines increasingly become agents we interact with, I am also curious about how they evolve and behave in ways we do not yet fully understand.

SOUND & SELF (SIDE B). Music is my other language. I write what I feel, and I sing it into being. 

My SIDE A explores the outside reality, the evolving world, through my work as an academic researcher. My SIDE B dives inward, my music traces the search for self and the quiet truths of being human. Both sides fuel my passion of existing - one gathers, digests, and creates knowledge, while the other feels, reflects, and gives voice to emotion.
