I'm Zhuoyue (pronounced "Jwo-yweh"), a Ph.D. student in Engineering (Human-Computer Interaction) at Cambridge with full scholarships (Trinity-Henry Barlow & Cambridge Trust). I’m interested in spatial interactions (AR/VR/MR) that deepen connections between humans, the physical world, and digital experiences. I hold a Master's in Education from Harvard and an Honors Bachelor's in Computer Science (AI focus) from UToronto. I wear multiple hats - researcher, designer, engineer, educator, podcaster, and singer.
02/2025: I will be serving as Visa Co-Chair for the CHI '26 Organizing Committee.
11/2024: I'm open to internship/visiting opportunities zl536@cam.ac.uk
