Yihang Zhao (CN:赵一行)
PhD Researcher | GenAI | HCI | Ontology Engineering
Hi, I'm a second-year PhD student in the Distributed Artificial Intelligence Group, Department of Informatics, King's College London, supervised by Prof. Elena Simperl and Dr Albert Meroño Peñuela. I'm also a research associate working on the Wikidata Quality Toolkit, focusing on developing the AI tool ProVe to enhance reference quality assessment.
My PhD research investigates the potential of generative AI (GenAI), particularly large language models (LLMs), in collaboration with human-computer interaction (HCI) techniques to support ontology requirements engineering (ORE), with a focus on developing an AI-copilot for MuseIT to assist stakeholders in producing satisfactory ontology requirements.
I hold a MSc in Data Science from King's College London with an overall grade of 80% (GPA of 4.0 out of 4.0) and a BSc in Artificial Intelligence & Computer Science from the University of Sheffield, where I was awarded an international undergraduate scholarship.
You’re welcome to visit my LinkedIn, Google Scholar, ORCiD. My office hours: Monday, 15pm-16pm (Email appointment), BH (N) 7th floor
