I’m a PhD candidate at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, working under the guidance of Professor Huamin Qu (屈华民) and Associate Professor Xiaojun Ma (麻晓娟). My research focuses on Human-Computer Interaction and Human-AI Interaction for creativity. Before joining HKUST, I worked with Professor Antti Oulasvirta at Aalto University (Finland). My current research interests lie in AI for storytelling and AI integration with design.
