About

I am currently a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the Department of Computer Science, College of Mathematic and Computer Science, Shantou University (STU). I earned my PhD from the Multimodal Embodied Interaction Lab (MEI Lab), School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong, under supervised by Dr. Kening Zhu and Prof. Hongbo Fu. My research interest lies in the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction and applied machine learning, in which I am currently focusing on investigating sensing technologies, leveraging deep learning algorithm. Specifically, I invent and build new sensing techniques to extract meaningful insight from common sensor data for two purposes: on one hand, I create novel input techniques on mobile devices to provide enhanced and intuitive user experiences. On the other hand, I design and evaluate sensing technology to implicitly understand users’ behavior and surroundings. My ultimate research goal is to make ubiquitous device context-aware and user-aware. I also have research experiences on multimodal VR/AR/XR, tangible interface design, smart wearable devices, and multi-modal interface design.
