My research in Gen AI combines hands-on experimentation with theoretical exploration, driven by a commitment to understanding how this new productivity model reshapes information flow and creative ecosystems.

Engaging directly with this transformative force is my main strategy. As one of the early adopters of tools like MD, SD, and Runway, I took the opportunity in 2023 to intern with a company known for its innovative products, VIGGLE.AI and Humanice. Building on a technical foundation, I’ve created two short films and an MV through multimodal inputs such as text, images, and audio. I’ve experimented with voice cloning to commemorate others and used AI to enhance character and scene design. My next goals involve exploring 3D content generation and XR interactive experiences, aiming to integrate human-AI collaboration fully into my creative process for even greater productivity.

Beyond practical work, I delve into theoretical questions by studying literature and conducting perspective-based analyses. I’m particularly focused on the ethical shifts and new dynamics in audience relationships prompted by technological change, as well as the responsibilities tech developers and platforms may bear in fostering accessible, ethical, and inclusive communication. Gen AI opens up unprecedented possibilities for expression across various social and educational backgrounds, yet also demands careful attention to the broader impacts on society.

I’m delving into game scriptwriting, H5 mini-games, and Unity-based 2D game development, alongside character and scene design.

My current focus is creating an immersive VR rhythm game using Unity for Meta Quest 3, aiming to push boundaries in virtual interactions.

Through curated reading lists, data journalism on aging, and volunteering experiences, I’m dedicated to exploring the intersection of disability, aging, and society.

My work focuses on understanding and addressing the challenges faced by vulnerable populations to foster inclusivity.

I engage in both quantitative and qualitative research to analyze cultural symbols in media. My studies and reading list help uncover the social contexts and meanings embedded in media, providing insight into how cultures communicate and resonate through symbols.

My work spans graphic design, 2D/3D video production, e-books, H5 pages, and mini-programs.

By combining technical skills with creative vision, I strive to articulate unique perspectives visually, helping others to express and realize their visual ideas.
