About | My Site

I am an interaction design and HCI researcher pursuing a Ph.D. degree at the Everyday Design Studio at Simon Fraser University. Advised by Dr. Ron Wakkary, Dr. Willams Odom, and Dr. Mikael Wiberg, I conducted design-oriented research projects over the past years. Specifically, the overarching goal of my doctoral study is to investigate organic experiences of shape-changing artifacts through the lens of materiality. In so doing, I ground my initiative into my day-to-day speculations of framing qualities of designed things and possible human-shape change relations. To date, most of these works were published at ACM CHI, DIS, and C&C.

I hold a master's degree in industrial design engineering from Southwest Jiaotong University where I was advised by Prof. Tao Huang. I have completed two internships at the Industrial design research institute of Skyworth co., Ltd and Newplan co., Ltd. I was actively involved in many research-oriented design programs spanning from household appliances to medical equipment and transportation equipment.

These design projects have already won more than ten top-tier international design awards, which contain the Red Dot Design Award: best of the best, iF design award, International Design Excellent Award, A’ Design Award, K-design Award, and IDA design award.
