April Yi Wang is an assistant professor in educational technology at ETH Zurich who investigates human-computer interaction to enable collaborative end-user programming. With a PhD from the University of Michigan and over a decade of industry and research experience—including internships at Microsoft Research and IBM—she blends qualitative user studies, large-scale log analysis, and system design to both observe how people use tools and build tools that shape behavior. Her work spans interactive systems, computational modeling, and design-for-collaboration, with roots in graphics and IoT from earlier engineering roles. Based in Zurich, she brings an uncommon combination of hands-on tool building and empirical modeling that surfaces subtle patterns in collaborative programming at scale.
