If technology doesn't work for the most vulnerable, it doesn't work at all.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Science, focusing on Human-Computer Interaction and Ubiquitous Computing at Aarhus University, Denmark.

I graduated from the School of Computer Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen (HITSZ), with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a research assistant at the ai{DEAL} Studio, School of Design, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), advised by Dr. Pengcheng An. My work primarily focused on Human-AI Interaction and Collaboration.

My research interests include human-computer interaction related to health and social computing. I am always passionate about applying computer technologies and algorithms to improve people’s health and well-being.

I like engaging in interdisciplinary exchanges and collaborations with all fields. Feel free to email me if you are interested in collaborating or discussing research ideas. I look forward to generating thought-provoking discussions!

🔈I am actively seeking for 2026 Fall PhD position, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you think I might be a good fit!
