Yuyang Wang

Dr. Yuyang Wang is an Assistant Professor at Computational Media and Art (CMA) at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) Information Hub, after concluding postdoc research. He received a PhD in computer science from the Arts et Métiers Institute of Technology, ParisTech in France. Under the framework of the French‐German Institute for Industry of the Future, he was a visiting researcher at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany. In addition, he holds a master's degree in numerical methods in engineering from the International Center for Numerical Methods (CIMNE), the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Spain. He consistently publishes works and serves as a reviewer in premier journals and conferences in his research area, such as Virtual Reality (Springer), International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, IEEE VR, IEEE ISMAR, et al.

Research field:

· Mitigation and prediction of motion sickness (or cybersickness) in virtual reality (p.s., with the help of SOTA AI methods)

· The neural mechanism behind user perception and sensory (p.s., computational neuroscience, reinforcement learning, computer vision)

· Multi-sensory VR interaction design and affective computing (p.s., cognitive systems)

Expected background of the student:

Ideally, major in mathematics, psychology, computer science, interaction design, or a closely related field; be self-motivated, curious, and kind.
