Dr Nan Jiang - Bournemouth University Staff Profile Pages

Biography

Dr Nan Jiang joined BU in 2010 and he is a Principal Academic in Software Quality and Testing. Prior to this, Nan was an Open Distance Learning (ODL) tutor at Queen Mary, University of London, where he also received his PhD in Web Usability and MSc in Advanced Methods.

Nan has 5 years of full stack web development experience as a freelance technical consultant and technical writer. He is specialised in web/mobile architectural and interface design but he also provides technical support on backend development.

He has provided consultancy for 10+ companies and organisations through a number of projects including EU funded Grads for Growth, H2020 FOODSmart and Gates Foundation funded ResearchInvestments (ResIn).

Nan was also a public invited expert for W3C HTML Working Group and he is still a member of W3C China.

Nan teaches web technologies and web development. He also acts as the Project Coordinator for Computing Undergraduate Programmes since 2014 and the Programme Leader for MSc Information Technology and Enterprise Information System since 2015.

Research

Dr Jiang's research is mainly focused on HCI (Human Computer Interaction). He is currently supervising 3 PhD students and will have another 3 next year.

He is specialised in novel usability evaluation methods and techniques but he is recently interested in two fields: (1) How multimodality can be exploited to address the current design issues in HMI (Human Machine Interfaces).

(2) How to improve interaction design to better facilitate gamification, crowdsourcing and augmented reality (AR) needs on mobile devices.

Nan has been an active reviewer for top research conferences including ACM CHI, BCS HCI, MobileHCI and DIS as well as leading industrial conferences like UXPA since 2008. He is also often invited to review journal paper submissions in related domains (e.g., Software Quality Journal, International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, Journal of Displays). He was part of the organising committee of PRO-VE 2012. He is the general co-chair for the 30th International British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Conference (BCS HCI 2016), which is held in Bournemouth.
