BEng Mechatronics and Robotic Systems
Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University
I am an undergraduate student pursuing a degree in Mechatronics at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, graduating in 2026. My research interests lie at the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI) and computer science, with a particular emphasis on spatial computing, interaction paradigms, and computational interaction.
My academic journey has afforded me the opportunity to work under the guidance of renowned researchers, including Prof. Hai-Ning Liang during my tenure at XJTLU. I am currently engaged in research at the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the supervision of Prof. Jin Huang.
Throughout my academic career, I have had the opportunity to work with respected experts in the field, including Prof. Dominic Kao at Purdue University and Dr. Wenge Xu at Birmingham City University. These experiences have enhanced my comprehension of human-computer interaction (HCI) and extended reality (XR) technologies.
In addition to my research interests in HCI, I have a robust foundation in robotics, having participated in the RoboMaster robotics competition, hosted by DJI. In this capacity, I contributed to the design and development of robots, thereby developing my skills in hardware design and ROS2. My GitHub profile provides an overview of my robotics-related projects (in my organization page).
I will be completing my undergraduate studies in June 2026 and am actively seeking research assistant or doctoral opportunities in the fields of HCI, XR, and interaction technologies. I would be delighted to discuss any potential collaborations or opportunities with you.
