Biography
Dr Ruijie Wang is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology, specialising in Cyberpsychology and Human Computer Interaction. She is a member of BU Gambling Research Group, Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Research Centre (INRC) and Bournemouth University HCI research group (BUCHI). She has been working on a GambleAware-funded responsible gambling project since April 2020, particularly for transparency and explainability of gambling sites, using multidisciplinary approaches including interviews, website and social media analysis, eye tracking and co-design. Before joining BU, she completed her PhD in Computer Science at De Montfort University, on the topic of motivation modelling and computation for personalised learning of people with dyslexia.
Research
My research interest covers all aspects of user research in the context of Human Computer Interaction, particularly for online gambling and e-learning. I'm interested in investigating the role of human factors (e.g. the needs of target user group and stakeholders) in the design, development, and evaluation of intelligent interactive systems. My recent research has a focus on transparency and explainability in technology and generative AI for users' informed choices. I use multidisciplinary research approaches including qualitative and quantitative analyses, statistical modelling, applying machine learning algorithms to automatic assessment of human mind and behaviour based on physiological information such as eye tracking and EEG, as well as other approaches involved in user-centred design and UX evaluation.
I'm welcoming enquiries from both UK and non-UK students who might be interested in pursuing a PhD with me.
