Her research focuses on user research and user experience, design psychology, and design methodology. Specific areas include aging and health design, cultural and sustainable design, and intelligent interaction design applied to product and service design. Currently, her primary research emphasis is on the application of artificial intelligence in design and user research. Her research directions align closely with national priorities as well as international frontiers in the discipline.
