Zhuo Wang

HCI Researcher

Hello, I'm Zhuo


I am a senior student at Xi'an Jiaotong–Liverpool University. My research interest in Human Computer  Interaction(HCI) focuses on the AI and XR  (wearable/ sensing technologies) , with a specific focus on two directions: 
1) Designing  interactive systems, leveraging AI or XR, enable more intelligent and adaptive  interactions based on users’ needs, contexts and environment  to improve their perception and cognition capabilities
2) Explore and design Human- (physical & virtual) AI  collaboration in spatial environment to support individual or group needs, particularly in learning, creative work, and team collaboration.

I have been fortunate to work with the following mentors :
Xiaojuan Ma at HKUST and Qian Zhu at Renmin University of China;     
Michael Nebeling and Janet Johnson at University of Michigan;                  Brennan Jones at XJTLU. 

 
If you have a research project related to  XR  or AI + XR, and are looking for a collaborator  in these directions, please feel free to contact me!
