About Me

I’m a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Professor Xiaojuan Ma.

Previously, I was a research assistant at AI&XR Lab, Shandong University (SDU), supervised by postdoctoral fellow Xiangxian Li, Assoc. Prof. Juan Liu and Assoc. Prof. Yulong Bian. I also worked as a research assistant at Institute of HCI and Media Integration, Tsinghua University (THU), supervised by Prof. Yongjin Liu. I received my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology in 2025 through a joint program between Shandong University (SDU) and the Australian National University (ANU).

My research mainly focuses on Human-computer Interaction, Human-centered AI, NLP and Pattern recognition. To be specific, I am researching human-centered computing, aiming to better understand humans through the analysis of human-generated data.

Research Interests

Human-computer Interaction: user experience, virtual reality, ubiquitous computing
Human-centered AI: EEG-based affective computing, flow experience computing
NLP: sentiment analysis, emotion recognition, prompt engineering
Pattern Recognition: video representation learning, action recognition
