Short Bio

I am a post-doctoral researcher in the Perceptual User Interfaces Group led by Prof. Andreas Bulling and Computational Biophysics and Biorobotics Group led by Prof. Syn Schmitt, in the University of Stuttgart, Germany since August 2022. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer Software and Theory from Peking University, China in 2022, supervised by Prof. Guoping Wang. I received my Bachelor's degree in Optical Engineering from Beijing Institute of Technology, China in 2017.

Research Interests

My research interests include virtual reality, human-computer interaction, eye tracking, and human-centred artificial intelligence. The long-term research goal is to develop a human-centred intelligent interactive system that can accurately model human behaviours, e.g. human eye movements and human body movements, in activities of daily living.
