About

Hi! I'm Rongkai Shi. I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) and the Guangzhou University. I obtained my PhD degree from University of Liverpool under the guidance of Prof. Hai-Ning Liang. My research interests fall broadly into human-computer interaction and interaction design. During my PhD studies, I focused on researching, designing, and evaluating interaction techniques, especially those involving multiple input modalities, for complex interaction scenarios in extended reality systems. Outside my thesis work, I am particularly interested in using quantitative and qualitative methodologies to research novel interactions.
