Personal statement

I joined the ³Ô¹Ïtv in 2024 and I'm currently a Lecturer in the Department of Computer and Information Sciences (CIS). My research focuses on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp), and applications of machine learning and deep learning. I am particularly interested in designing interactive intelligence technologies to enhance user experience in HCI scenarios by exploring critical aspects of user engagement, such as attention, emotion, intention, cognition and behavior. My goal is to understand users' psychological and cognitive traits and leverage these insights to develop front-end services that both enrich user interactions and push the boundaries of artificial intelligence (AI). 

One of my ongoing projects, Context-Intention Interactive Computing, integrates large language models, eye-tracking technology, human intention analysis, and interactive design methodologies. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, this work seeks to understand users' evolving intention states and how these intentions interact with context, improving user performance and contributing to AI-driven solutions for education and well-being.

I am currently seeking highly motivated MSc (Research) and PhD students. I am also open to collaborating with researchers who share similar or complementary interests. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
