About

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.

Research

My research currently focuses on HCI-driven mental interventions. In the past, I have studied GenAI for creative creations, human–robot interactions, and accessible HCI.

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

Life

I have a cat — I play around with him all day and look forward to bringing him to travel the world. Personally, I like travelling, football, and badminton.

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