I am a Research Associate in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, working with James Landay.
I am a member of the DUB (Design, Use & Build) Center, a cross-campus HCI community at the University of Washington.
I earned a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the Chinese Academy of Sciences,
and then did my postdoctoral research in EECS at the University of California at Berkeley. I am currently looking for employment at universities and research labs (see application materials above).
I am broadly interested in Human-Computer Interaction and User Interface Software Engineering, especially
user interface prototyping tools, pen-based user interfaces, ubiquitous computing and programming by demonstration. I am also involved in the RFID Ecosystem project at UW CSE. My current research focus is on design tools for ubiquitous computing applications. In particular, I am using an activity-based approach that is grounded in existing
ubicomp design pratice as well as social psychological theories to:
- streamline a ubicomp design process including field research, analysis, prototyping, and testing,
- and ground interaction design/computing in both situational factors and the persistent structures of human activity.
I am building and experimenting with ActivityDesigner, a system for activity-based ubicomp prototyping.
