Hello!

I am a PhD student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and a proud member of Crafting Computational Crafting (CCC) Lab, Intentional Design Studio and HCI Lab. I am interested in exploring design strategies, particularly in Procedural Content Generation, that leverage biological and neurological sensing to enhance user experiences in immersive environments such as video games, virtual reality, and augmented reality. As a research assistant at WPI Academic & Research Computing, I design, develop, and evaluate digital media products that support and promote faculty research, teaching, scholarship, and external partnerships.

Prior my life as a developer and HCI researcher, I majored in Pharmaceutical Engineering and obtained a Bachelor’s degree from Wuhan University of Technology (WHUT), Wuhan, China in 2020. I worked with Prof. Yihua Yin in particle drug delivery system, and interned as clinical research associate at Novartis. Through these experiences, I discovered the potential benefits of informative systems and immersive technologies in the medical industry, particularly in the areas of rehabilitation training and education. The COVID-19 pandemic led me to consider the potential and challenges of remote learning in immersive environments, which ultimately inspired me to transition into a developer and HCI researcher.

If you are interested in my work or simply want to chat about biofeedback and neurofeedback games, I would love to hear from you! Please feel free to send me an email and that's how epic begins.
