Hanli Fan (hanli.fan@connect.hku.hk)
I am currently a Master’s student in Psychology at HKU. My research interest focuses on human-AI collaboration in decision-making, particularly in investment decision-making. I am also interested in behavioral economics and the cognitive mechanisms underlying financial judgement. I have over ten years of experience in the finance industry. I hold an MSc in Financial Economics from the University of Oxford, and a BSc in Physics from the University of Manchester. I am a Fellow Chartered Accountant (ICAEW) and a CFA charterholder.

Siyu Yan (siyuyan02@gmail.com)
I received my Master’s degree from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2025, advised by Prof. Yuyu Luo and Prof. Nan Tang, and my Bachelor’s degree from Nankai University in 2023. During the summer of 2025, I gained valuable experience as a research intern at Huawei 2012 Leibniz Systems Lab. My research interest is transitioning from Data-centric AI to AI for CogSci—that is, leveraging models to reverse-engineer human decision-making and explore the cognitive foundations of cooperation or social interaction.
