I graduated and will become a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor at UB.
My research lies at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Personal Health Informatics, and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). My research explores how data-driven ecosystems can support complex and often-changing health needs from individual, interpersonal, and socio-cultural levels. I am particularly interested in stigmatized health domains where individuals may be marginalized by the healthcare system and technology industry, such as women’s health and public health crises.
I am a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Information Science, with a joint appointment in Computer Science and Engineering, at the University at Buffalo--SUNY.
I received my Ph.D. in Informatics at the University of California, Irvine, advised by Professor Daniel Epstein in the PIE lab. Before coming to UCI, I received my master's degree in HCI/design from Indiana University Bloomington, working with Professor Jeffrey Bardzell and Shaowen Bardzell.
[Recruiting PhD]: I am seeking one student for PhD in 25 Fall. Please email me (xlu30 at buffalo.edu) your CV and brief descriptions of your preferred research topics. Kindly mark the subject with [PhD Application]. The program application deadline is Jan 1st, 2025.
I look for students who have previous degrees in Computer Science, Information/Informatics, or related fields. Students with a background in one or more of programming, frontend design, and user research are welcomed. Applicants are expected to have strong interest in HCI, with interest in publishing in venues such as CHI, CSCW, DIS, or UbiComp/IMWUT.
