Teams and roles for Xinyu (charlotte) Huang Huang
Research student
Overview
I am a PhD student in the School of Computer Science & Informatics at Cardiff University.
My research focuses on using AI-generated virtual environments enhancing user experiences in spatial user interfaces, potentially benefiting wellbeing, education, media, culture studies and more broadly fields.
I am a self-training data engineer with cross educational backgrounds in MSc Human Computer Interaction and B.E. Landscape Architecture, with work experience in public interactive spaces design, board game content design, and library information support. My skills and interests include user experience research and design, website development, statistics and data analysis, serious game design, and virtual reality development.
Besides technology, design and user service, I do traditional Chinese cultural based watercolour art and instrument Guzheng playing.
Welcome to connect with me :)
