About Me

Nianlong Li is an Associate Professor at the Beijing Key Laboratory of Human-Computer Interaction, Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISCAS), and is supported by the Hundred Talents Plan of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Prior to joining ISCAS, Nianlong was a researcher at Lenovo Research, where he contributed to core interaction technologies and platforms for Lenovo’ s glasses-free 3D product line. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) in 2022, under the supervision of Prof. Feng Tian and Prof. Teng Han.

Nianlong’s research focuses on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), with a particular emphasis on spatial interaction paradigms for 3D interfaces and embodied intelligent agents. His research interests include: 1) Modeling human behaviors to uncover interaction mechanisms; 2) Optimizing devices and multimodal techniques to improve task efficiency; 3) Transferring user abilities to agents to advance human-machine collaboration.

I am looking for both long-term and short-term interns. If interested, drop me an email.
