I am Yunlong Wang, 王云龙 in Chinese, a research scientist at IHPC, A*STAR in Singapore.

I was a research fellow at the Institute for Health Innovation & Technology (iHealthTech) and NUS Ubicomp lab at the National University of Singapore. Working with Dr. Brian Lim, we developed new HCI methods to improve collective creativity in crowd ideation with NLP and XAI techniques (see Directed Diversity and Interpretable Directed Diversity), in the use case of generating motivational messages to encourage physical activity for public health. Meanwhile, within the domain of health behavior change, we explored new XAI applications for food-tracking feedback (see SalienTrack).

I got my PhD in Computer Science from the HCI Group, University of Konstanz, Germany. Under the supervision of Prof. Harald Reiterer, I worked on the SMARTACT project with a focus on persuasive technologies (PT) for sedentary behavior change (e.g., SedVis, SedBar, SedHolo, the TUDER framework and the Review paper on PT).

My current research focuses on HCI and AI for health behavior change, mental health, collective creativity, and education.
