 Ph.D., Lecturer
 Core Member, Guangdong Engineering Research Center for Human–Computer Interaction Design
 Ph.D. in Industrial Design, Southeast University (2024)
 Joint Ph.D. Training at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (CSC Program)

My research focuses on human–machine interface design and human–computer interaction within intelligent equipment, complex systems, and virtual reality environments. More recently, I have been investigating Agent design in the age of artificial intelligence from a user experience perspective, with particular attention to human–AI interaction, intelligent decision support, interface cognition, and the design evaluation of AI-driven systems.

I have participated in the development of two national military standards on human–machine interfaces and have published nine SCI-indexed journal articles. I serve as an invited reviewer for several international journals, including International Journal of Human–Computer Interaction, Displays, Journal of the Society for Information Display, Journal of Eye Movement Research, Frontiers in Psychology, and Brain Sciences.

I am a representative member of the Ergonomics Branch of the Chinese Human Factors Engineering Society, and a member of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), ACM SIGCHI, the Society for Information Display (SID), and the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO).
