Min Liu is an industrial designer and design researcher.
Min is a full-time research assistant at the Future Spaces Vision Lab at the Southern University of Science and Technology. She recently earned her MFA in Design Research and Development from The Ohio State University and holds a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design from the Wuhan University of Technology. Previously, she worked as a product designer at an education company.
Her current research focuses on designing and evaluating interactive systems that leverage embodied interaction and biosignals, applied to learning and health contexts. She values both physical and digital materialities in her design work and aims to develop human-centered solutions through participatory design and research-through-design methodologies.
Min is actively seeking PhD opportunities in Human-Computer Interaction and Design.
