Congrats, Yue!!🚀 .Future students—if you’re into computational UI/eye-tracking, seek her out at #CHI2025. I’m sure she’ll be an awesome mentor doing cool research 👀.

I’ll be an assistant professor later this year and will be actively looking for potential students (RAs and PhDs) at #CHI2025. If you are interested in UI or eye tracking-related research, feel free to talk to me at CHI.

Thrilled to share our upcoming #CHI2025 paper on fans’ practices of building collective understanding of social media algorithms and organizing coordinated algorithmic actions to influence the online sphere. It provides insights into collective actions and online fandom.

Super proud to have collabroated on this #chi2025 paper which studied how users of AI companion apps actively re-align AI's values for various purposes. The strategies users used and their rationales behind were quite interesting and inspiring, especially for human-AI interaction.

AI alignment is often top-down, with technical teams setting broad safeguards. But what if users had more agency? Our CHI'25 paper introduces "user-driven value alignment" -- where users actively re-align AI to reflect their values. #chi2025.📎

As more and more people form parasocial or even "intimate" relationships with virtual idols/influencers, some even powered by GenAI, our results provide nuanced understandings of how users may respond when their virtual idols "die" or no longer exist. More info. coming soon. 2/2.

I'm thrilled to share that another paper on Virtual YouTuber (VTuber) was conditionally accepted at #CHI2025. Led by @KenjenLee and in collab. with @AllenPiao, we explored how fans respond to the "termination"/graduation of a VTuber, through the lens of parasocial grieving. 1/2.

It is truly offensive and disheartening. There’s still a long way to go for the broader computing research communities to be truly inclusive.

1/3 Today, an anecdote shared by an invited speaker at #NeurIPS2024 left many Chinese scholars, myself included, feeling uncomfortable. As a community, I believe we should take a moment to reflect on why such remarks in public discourse can be offensive and harmful.

Email me with your CV if interested! . Fun fact: Fairfax, where GMU is located, is ranked the #2 healthiest college town in the US (. According to the report, Fairfax residents report the fewest days of mental health distress than anywhere else.

📢I’m recruiting CS PhD students this cycle @GeorgeMasonU, to study and design emerging technologies (e.g., immersive media, genAI) to support creativity and new ways of social interactions, e.g., online creative communities & creativity support tools for cultural heritage.
