Shihong Huang

Teaching Professor, Information Systems

Bio

Shihong Huang is a Teaching Professor of Information Systems at Carnegie Mellon University. She received her M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California, Riverside. Her teaching interests are in web application developments, software engineering, information visualization, and human-computer interaction.

Dr. Huang’s research is broadly in software engineering and specifically in human-in-the-loop co-adaptive systems, where humans and systems cooperate symbiotically to carry out tasks with each adapting to the other to optimize results that are better than when performed without adaptation. Her research also includes brain computer interaction (BCI), health informatics, and computer applications in clinical and therapeutic fields. Dr. Huang’s work on nursing knowledge management was granted a U.S. Patent in 2014.

Prior to joining CMU, Dr. Huang was a tenured Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and the Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). She twice received FAU’s Award for Excellence and Innovation in Undergraduate Teaching (in 2008 and 2015). In 2022, she received the Engineer’s Council Outstanding Engineering Achievement Merit Award for “sharing her passion for education and life-long learning, advancing an environment where everyone thrives, and using her knowledge to touch professional lives and promote the next generation of engineers.”
