Jia Joy Liu

My research lies at the intersection of UX/UI design and Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), with a particular focus on AI-powered, remote usability testing and UX evaluation for digital products and websites.

I am currently investigating how conversational AI chatbot can support more scalable, inclusive, and methodologically robust remote unmoderated usability testing to better understand user experience.
