Hello, I'm Lei, Director of Learning Lab, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Durham University. I am a member of the Innovative Computing Group and an associate in the Institute of Data Science. I am interested in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in general. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Warwick and an MSc in Digital Art and Design from Zhejiang University.
My research lies at the intersection of machine learning, behavioural analytics and interaction design. I investigate theoretical aspects of Human-AI interaction, co-decision-making and co-creation, as well as its practical applications in real-world settings such as education, healthcare and social innovation.
Research Interests: Machine Learning Applied-AI HCI Gamification Behavioural Analytics Intelligent Tutoring Systems
