Here, I will share some of my personal thoughts/reflections on HCI research. I hope that some of the content might inspire you. However, it’s important to remember that different perspectives lead to different interpretations. While some of the content I share may be based on existing literature (I will add the references accordingly), much of it is also drawn from my own experiences. As a result, I cannot guarantee that everything I post is entirely accurate or universally applicable. I welcome any your opinions as long as you recognize the value of HCI domain. Please feel free to reach out to me via email if you’d like to discuss anything further.

A relationship ended recently, and since then, a quiet, steady sadness has lingered with me. As I navigate the emotional weight, I’ve begun to notice something meaningful: what I had learned when conducting HCI research has quietly become a source of nourishment and growth.
Excited to share my journey to my first CHI paper!
In conversations with friends about what it means to be a good reviewer, we realized that many reviewers may not be aware of key guidelines essential for reviewers. I’ve gathered a few helpful links here for new reviewers or those who haven’t seen these resources before. If you’re inviting new reviewers in the future, please consider sharing these links.
When my friend Jason asked, “What makes HCI different from psychology?” I realized I hadn’t thought deeply about it before, as I’d always considered them naturally distinct. On the surface, they both focus on understanding humans, but psychology examines human cognition and behavior, while HCI centers on how we design and interact with technology. This post shared my thoughts about how these fields overlap and where they diverge, offering my personal thoughts on what sets HCI apart.
