Research Experience

ACE Laboratory, University of WashingtonSeattle, America
Advisor: Jacob O. WobbrockFeb 2026 – Sept 2026

My research here explores generative and adaptive user interfaces, focusing on how AI can dynamically shape interactions based on users’ preferences, behaviors, and ongoing activities.

Pervasive HCI Laboratory, Tsinghua UniversityBeijing, China
Advisor: Chun Yu and Yuanchun ShiFeb 2025 – Present

My research here spanned a range of HCI projects, including building AI assistants that adapt to individual users’ preferences, designing tools that provide parents with different levels of assistance and support reflection on parenting practices, and exploring how robotic dogs can communicate and collaborate with security guards.

The Future Laboratory, Tsinghua UniversityBeijing, China
Advisor: Qi LuOct 2024 – Mar 2025

My research here involved prototyping a multimodal display that integrates haptic and olfactory feedback into visual experiences.

Internship

Smartphone Division, XiaomiBeijing, China
Product Management InternJan 2025 – Jun 2025

My work here focused on product planning and interaction design for Xiaomi HyperOS, focusing on the Notification Shade, Control Center, and Xiaomi HyperIsland.
