About me

I am expected to receive my Ph.D. in Design at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in September 2025 and am currently seeking faculty opportunities. My supervisor is Prof. Zhenyu GU. 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.
