I'm a first second third fourth-year Ph.D. student at University of Maryland's (UMCP) College of Information Studies.
I work with Dr. Eun Kyoung Choe in HCIL,
where I study Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Ubiquitous Computing, and Health Informatics.
I completed my master in Information Sciences & Technology at Penn State in 2017,
and bachelor in Computer Science at Southeast University, China, in 2015.
Outside of school, I interned as a User Experience (UX) Researcher at Facebook (Enterprise People Engineering) in summer 2020, and Google (Android Tools & Platform) in summer 2019.
[Curriculum Vitae]
My Ph.D. research focuses on collecting high-quality and rich personal health data (e.g., exercise, food practices)
through designing, building, and evaluating multimodal technologies (e.g., mobile apps, Alexa skills). I also explore how these data can be utilized in healthcare contexts.
My work covers the entire spectrum of information flow: from collecting design requirements, to building research prototypes, to understanding how people use the systems in the real world.
Throughout this process, I apply a mix of HCI methods to understand people's intentions and behaviors, and provide actionable insights to both researchers and practitioners.
When I'm not doing research, I spend time on creating illustration, reading, running, and traveling. Occasionally, I participate in open-source projects, play video games, and challenge myself with extreme sports.
