About Me

I’m a first-year Ph.D. student in Design at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I’m advised by Dr. Junan Yu in the Little Design Group. I take an interdisciplinary approach and conduct research in the fields of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Child-Computer Interaction (CCI), and Design. My research has been published in venues for Human-Computer Interaction, such as the ACM CHI conference.
