Top SchoolXuhai Xu is an assistant professor and HCI/ML researcher with a decade of experience building AI systems that model and influence human routine behavior, now directing Columbia’s SEA Lab focused on health and medical applications. His work spans academia and industry—postdoc at MIT, PhD from University of Washington, and research internships at Google, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, and Samsung—where he applied wearable data, few-shot and transfer learning, and explainable ML to real-world health and interaction problems. He has published systems and user studies (CHI, IMWUT, WWW) that bridge sensing, interpretable models, and deployment at scale, including wearables + LLM work at Google Health. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic and experimental: he repeatedly translates prototype ML into deployed user studies and products. He maintains an accessible lab and project portfolio at orsonxu.com that surfaces practical tools and interdisciplinary collaborations.
