Quyen Tran

I am a senior double majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics at DePauw University. In Fall 2025, I also studied abroad with Budapest Semesters in Mathematics.

I’ll be applying to Ph.D. programs in Computer Science and related fields during the 2026–2027 application cycle. I hope to begin a Ph.D. program in Fall 2027.

My research interests span across visualization, human-computer interaction (HCI), and AI in education (AIED). Broadly, I am interested in designing visual and interactive systems that make abstract concepts and formal reasoning more understandable and accessible.

I have conducted research with mentors and collaborators at Carnegie Mellon University, SEACrowd, the HUN-REN Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics, and DePauw University. Much of my earlier work focused on AI/ML, including statistical modeling, explainable AI (XAI), and LLMs. Through the REUSE program at CMU, I became more interested in human-centered research and in building technologies (e.g., visualizations and interactive systems) that help students learn difficult concepts.
