I am an assistant professor at the School of Information Systems and Technology in the Lucas College and Graduate School of Business at San Jose State University (SJSU). Before joining SJSU, I was a postdoctoral researcher working with Prof. Yunan Chen and Prof. Gloria Mark at Department of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). My research interests include human-computer interaction, computer supported collaborative work, health informatics, information security and privacy.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer and Communication Sciences from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. My supervisor was Dr. Pearl Pu, the director of Human Computer Interaction Group. Before that, I received my Master's degrees in Security and Mobile Computing from both Aalto University in Finland and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Norway and Bachelor's degree in Information Security from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China. While in Finland, I was a research intern in the headquarter of Nokia Research Center in Helsinki. |
