I'm a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researcher, currently an assistant professor appointed by the Department of Computer Science at City University of Hong Kong.

My primary research seeks to enhance individuals' everyday health and well-being through unlocking the potential of ubiquitous computing technologies. I build multimodal systems (e.g., touch and speech interfaces) to support self-tracking, design interventions to encourage health behaviors, and explore opportunities for utilizing personal data in clinical contexts. My work encompasses all the phases of human-centered design, including collecting empirical understandings of humans, developing interactive systems, and understanding how people use these systems in real-world settings.
