Iām a proud iSchooler. Iām an Assistant Teaching Professor at the Penn State College of Information Science and Technology. I have a Ph.D. in Informatics from the Luddy School of Indiana University Bloomington, and a B.S. in Informatics from the Information School of the University of Washington, Seattle. My work explores the intersection of human-computer interaction, health informatics, and family & children. My research uses family-food interaction to unpack complexities in navigating various shared experiences ā from mundane domestic activities to chronic health challenges ā to support and design for the health, social, and developmental goals of families and children. I was a recipient of the Luddy PhD Instructor Award and an Instructor on Record at IU. I teach courses on Health Informatics, Social Informatics, UX Design, HCC Methods, and Computing and AI Ethics.
Iām always happy to chat about potential collaboration opportunities. Check out my CV and drop me a line at yxwu@psu.edu :)
