Welcome to my HCI world!
I am Jindu Wang (王锦都), currently an M.Phil. student in HKUST VisLab, at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. Huamin Qu. Before joining HKUST, I obtained my B.S. degree in Software Engineering from Xi'an Jiaotong University.
I am always open to various research collaborations. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss potential projects or work together!
My primary research focus is on Human-Computer Interaction, particularly at the intersection of Wearable Computing, Cognitive Science and AI. I aim to understand user intentions and needs by using LLMs to interpret multimodal data, with a specific focus on the unique spatial and environmental context captured by AR/VR technologies, complemented by an ecosystem of other wearable sensors. By integrating theories from cognitive science, I seek to design and develop context-aware, seamless multimodal interactions and applications that enhance the quality of life and well-being for users, which follows two connected threads:
1) Understanding: How to utilize multimodal contextual information and user profiles to understand users' states, intentions, and needs at specific moments and in particular contexts?
2) Execution: How to design natural and seamless multimodal interactions, interfaces, and applications based on in-context understanding to provide proactive and/or user-initiated assistance?
I am fortunate to collaborate extensively with outstanding international researchers. I work closely with Xiang Li and Prof. Per Ola Kristensson from the University of Cambridge, as well as Runze Cai and Prof. Shengdong Zhao from NUS/CityU Hong Kong.
I was a research intern in KAIST HCI Lab advised by Prof. Geehyuk Lee. Previously, I interned at the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISCAS) and Lenovo Research, under the supervision of Prof. Teng Han and Dr. Nianlong Li, respectively. Also, I was a research assistant at Xi'an Jiaotong University, advised by Zhongmin Cai.
