Yan Qing Cui

Senior Researcher
Helsinki

I am a user researcher with Nokia Research Center in its Helsinki office. My research interest covers explorative user studies and interactive product user evaluations. I am a part-time PHD student with Tampere University of Technology, Finland. My doctoral topic is "facilitating the use of social networking services via mobile devices".

Research Interests

As a design researcher, I am currently interested in exploring UI designs that facilitate mobile Web activities, online social networking services in particular. My early studies also cover mobile video, text messaging, and input methods.

Conferences

I closely follow the conference series: MobileHCI,CHI, WWW. PC member for WWW2009; Reviewer for MobileHCI 2008; MobileHCI 2011; CHI 2011; CHI2012. Reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing.

I follow these primary conferences: CHI, IUI, Ubicomp, and MobileHCI.
