Welcome to my HCI world!
I am Jindu Wang (王锦都), currently a Ph.D. 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.
