My name is Xiaoqing Sun, and I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. at DIV Lab, Beijing Institute of Technology, under the supervision of Dr. Xipei Ren. My research lies at the intersection of design and human-computer interaction. My vision is to embrace the challenges present in the area of health and education through creating socio-emotional intelligence inspired by animal analogies.
