Researcher, Curator, Dog fancier

Hi, I am currently a doctoral student under the supervision of Prof. Christian Wagner from School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong. I strongly believe playable and interactive art installations can engage public engagement with environmental issues and then elicit behavioural change. I wish I could be an artist who can draw the crowds.
