Welcome.

My name is Xiao Dong. I am a user experience researcher.

This is where I put up my resume, research projects. From this site, you will get to know me as a user experience researcher, and get a sense of my skills, experiences, and personality.

Background

I got my master degree from Tsinghua University, Beijing China and specialized in HCI research and it's application in mobile advertising as well as online user experience. Now I am at University of Minnesota working on double majors. My primary major is Industrial Engineering with focus on HCI & HF. The second major is Computer Science. My current PhD research topic is how to support engineering designers make design decisions.

So what's my passion?

My passion lies in studying the interactions between users and systems, and helping delivering memorable and enjoyable experiences to users.

I want to help define and create compelling experiences that engage and enrich.

...and how would I do this?

I would leverage my background in Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Computer Science to tackle user experience challenges and to define optimal virtual and physical user interactions.

I hope to be able to work closely with designers and engineers to define, deliver and facilitate the process from conception to execution.
