01 / About me

Hi, I’m Jingchen.

I’m an undergraduate at NYU Shanghai, studying Interactive Media Arts with a minor in Computer Science. My research interests span human–computer interaction, immersive experiences, and human–AI collaboration.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Prof. Yun Huang at UIUC, Prof. Yalong Yang at Georgia Tech, and Prof. Yukang Yan at the University of Rochester.
