About Me

I am a Staff Research at the Lenovo Research. My research interests lie in the area of human-computer interaction (HCI), focusing on interaction techniques in virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), understanding and modeling human behaviors.

I received my Ph.D. (Jan, 2022) from the Beijing Key Lab of Human-Computer Interaction at the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISCAS), advised by Prof. Feng Tian and Associate Prof. Teng Han. Before coming to ISCAS, I completed my B.S. degree in Software Engineering at Xiangtan University in 2016.
