CAT PERSON ENFP

Hola! I’m Jerry (ZHANG Fu), a PhD student at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and a researcher in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) with extensive experience in software engineering. My work is driven by a long‑standing goal: to support individuals living with physical or mental health challenges by improving their quality of life and care. I pursue this through HCI‑ and robotics‑driven assistance and interventions, exploring how technology can meaningfully reduce suffering, enhance autonomy, and provide compassionate, effective support.

Off work, I travel, watch football(huge arsenal fan) and play music (clarinet,piano and harmonica)
