Rooted in Research, Growing in Design!

Hi, I'm Lingyuan, on the way to chasing dreams :)

My name is Lingyuan Li. I have a B.Eng. in Software Engineering from Southeast University and a M.S. in Computer Science from New York University. I earned my Ph.D. in Human-Centered Computing at Clemson University in May 2023, where I was a member of CUGAME lab and advised by Dr. Guo Freeman
My research, rooted in human-computer interaction (HCI) and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), explores the nuanced experiences and social dynamics emerging around technological artifacts and collaborative systems. Specifically, I have a keen interest in areas like digital peer-to-peer (P2P) payments, social virtual reality (social VR), artificial intelligence (AI), live streaming, and multiplayer online games. Through my work in these domains, I seek to unravel the complex interplay between human engagement with digital environments and the shaping of our collective experiences.
