Hello, welcome to my website. I’m Yuanxi Fu, a doctoral student in Information Science at the School of Information Sciences, UIUC [school page]. I made a career switch from chemistry to information science in 2019 and regained my passion and confidence for research. Having defended my dissertation proposal, I am on my way to receiving my second PhD, this time in information science.

You can view my CV here. My dissertation committee includes Jodi Schneider, Allen Renear, Bertram Ludäscher, Peter Darch, and Nigel Bosch. I am the awardee of 2025 Eugene Garfield doctoral dissertation fellowship by Beta Phi Mu International Honor Society [press release].

I am currently working on my dissertation. I also work with Prof. Bertram Ludäscher on computational argumentation and its applications in human-LLM collaboration.
