Zhaohan Xi

I am an Assistant Professor of School of Computing at the Binghamton University, The State University of New York (SUNY), where I jointly contribute to the Computer Science and Information Systems programs. I am also an Affiliate Member of Upstate Cancer Center, Upstate Medical University, where I collaborate on research in cancer prevention, survivorship, therapeutics, and population health.

Before joining in Binghamton, I earned my Ph.D. at Pennsylvania State University, College of Information Science and Technology. I received my master’s degree from Lehigh University and my bachelor’s degree from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

My research focuses on developing cross-disciplinary solutions to cutting-edge problems through agentic AI, aiming to foster responsible, robust, and resilient systems. On the methodology side, my research advances the reasoning, planning, and collaborative capabilities of LLM-based agents. I also work on techniques that improve their safety, trustworthiness, and reliability. On the application side, I bring these methods to domains where correctness and accountability matter most. My work spans healthcare, cybersecurity, AI-powered education, and scientific discovery, where I study how agentic systems can support expert decision making, strengthen digital defenses, personalize learning, and accelerate the pace of research.
