My research interests include human-computer interaction, computer aided design and crowdsourcing. My thesis is \u2018Exploring How Design Concept Evaluation and Feedback Affect Product Design Quality on a Crowdsourcing-Based Collaborative Design Platform\u2019, in which I develop a crowdsourcing-based design platform first, then investigate how design concept evaluation and feedback affect product design quality. The platform could provide crowds with various expertise and experience to help SMEs complete their practical design requirements which are hard to be finished in general design environment because of limited professionals and resources.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-33
