About me

Hello! I am currently a senior student in Information and Computing Science at Xi'an Jiaotong Liverpool University.

I have worked as a research assistant at X-CHI Lab and Spatial Interaction and Immersive Visualization Lab at Xi'an Jiaotong Liverpool University, as well as Computational Media and Arts Thrust at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). My research focuses on the fields of human-computer interaction and virtual reality.

I have shared my study notes and some of my computer related experiences on CSDN. You can find me through the link on the website. I am passionate about helping everyone solve various computer related problems. If you have any related questions, you can contact me through the contact information on the website.

I am also a game enthusiast and game developer. I have been playing Overwatch recently. If you want to play games with me, you can contact me through the Steam link on the website. At the same time, the new game Kong Fu Card developed by my company is going to be released, and I hope everyone can support it. I sometimes live stream playing games on Bilibili, and if you have time, you can also come and support me.
