Hey there!

I'm Yijing Jiang

I am a researcher, interaction designer and hardware engineer working at the intersection of human–computer interaction, personal fabrication, and wearable technology.
‍
In my PhD research, I investigate intraoral user interfaces that leverage oral movements, tongue gestures, and biosensing for hands-free interaction, health monitoring, and assistive technology.
