Jia Joy Liu

My research lies at the intersection of UX/UI design, Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), focusing on human-centered intelligent systems, AI-assisted usability evaluation, and inclusive digital experiences.


My current work explores how conversational AI agents and systematic evaluation frameworks can advance remote, unmoderated usability testing, with particular emphasis on adaptive user interactions, multilingual accessibility, methodological rigor, and human–AI collaboration.
