My name is Lingyuan Li. I earned my PhD in Human-Centered Computing at Clemson University in May 2023, where I was a member of CUGAME lab and advised by my amazing advisor Dr. Guo Freeman.
Using human-centered approaches, I have been researching on mediated experience and social dynamics surrounding technological objects and collaborative systems including human-computer interaction (HCI), computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), digital economy, esports, social VR, and live streaming.
