About me

I received my Ph.D. in Design at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. My research focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence and design, aiming at design thinking-guided AI technologies severing design problems solved. I have conducted in-depth work in areas such as UX design and multimodal design resource retrieval.
