Hi, I'm Peixuan, currently a PhD student at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), supervised by Prof. Mingming Fan. I got my bachelor's degree from Tiangong University and majored in Mechanical Engineering and Textile, and I got a master's degree from Sun Yat-Sen University and researched swarm robotics in mixed reality environments. Now my research interests mainly focus on HCI, including BCI, VR, and robotics.

I am glad to do cross-disciplinary work, and always curious about new and unknown staff.

Beyond research

Life

Now I'm trying to focus more on myself in life. I have experience with instruments like the piano and harmonica (always novice), and years before volunteering on Bali Island. Cooking, photographing, or any other things new will motivate me to enjoy.
