I'm a Ph.D. candidate of Distributed and Ubiquitous Computing Laboratory at Computer Science Department, Waseda University
(早稲田大学)
Japan since 2010. My supervisor is Prof.Tatsuo Nakajima. I also work with Prof.Todorka Alexandrova and Dr.Vili
Lehdonvirta
from London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). I am a Microsoft Research Fellow from 2011.

I worked at Helsinki Institute for Information Technology, Helsinki University as Visiting Researcher during summer 2011. I spent
one year as research assistant at Computer Science department, Tokyo Institute of Technology (東京工業大学) from 2009, right
after finish my research intern at Swedish Defense Research Agency, Stockholm, Sweden. I received my M.Sc. from Chalmers
University of Technology
, Sweden in 2009 and bachelor degree from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China
(电子科技大学)
in 2007. I also co-founded a tech start-up in Shanghai from 2011.  

My current interests center on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Ubiquitous Computing, specifically Crowd & Social
Computing Systems, and Gamification.
