Open to 16 months PEY Co-op Internship (May 2026)

HELLO! I'MAmelia Zhang

A third-year Computer Engineering student at the University of Toronto, currently working on multimodal emotion recognition and personality-adaptive conversational agents.

A Glimpse Into My World

The Mission

I am exploring how AI can be made more emotionally intelligent. Not perfectly, but enough to respond with clarity, safety, and empathy. That's the direction guiding everything I work on.
