Chongyuan Dai

About Me

I am Chongyuan Dai (戴崇远), a final-year undergraduate at Hefei University of Technology, China, advised by A/Prof. Jinpeng Hu. Currently, I am a research intern at MBZUAI, UAE, advised by Asst. Prof. Xiuying Chen. I am so grateful to work with two excellent mentors, whose support has profoundly shaped my academic journey and life path.

My research focuses on Affective Computing, Social Intelligence, Large Language Models, and Natural Language Processing. I am interested in how language models: (1) represent and respond to human factors such as emotion, culture, and social context [CEDAR]; and (2) develop stronger social and cognitive capabilities through human-AI interaction [DyCAC].

📢 I am actively seeking 27Fall PhD/MS positions. Any opportunities would be greatly appreciated!
