I'm a first second third-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.
[Curriculum Vitae]
My Ph.D. research focuses on collecting high-quality and rich personal health data (e.g., exercise, eating practices)
through designing, building, and evaluating multimodal technologies (e.g., mobile app, desktop applications, Alexa skills),
and exploring how these data can be used in different healthcare contexts.
During 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 my time on creating illustration,
and participating in open-source projects.
