CAT PERSON ENFP

Hi, I'm Jerry (ZHANG Fu) — a PhD student at PolyU and an HCI researcher with a background in software and electronics engineering. Supervised by Prof. Chen Li, I work on AI-agent-driven human–computer interaction and ubiquitous computing, with a focus on clinical and pedagogical applications.

My research currently focus on HCI driven mental interventions. In the past, I have studied the following: GenAI for creative creations, Human robot interactions and Accessible HCI.

As a software engineer, I develop useful and interests-driven applications, which you can find here

I have a cat, I play aroud with him all days and looking to bring him to travel around. Personally. I like travelling, football and play badminten.

I enjoy playing music instruments as well, specifically,piano, clarinet and harmonica.
