Hey there!

I'm Yijing Jiang

I am a designer and researcher working at the intersection of human–computer interaction, personal fabrication, and wearable technology. My work explores how tangible and body-integrated interfaces can support more intuitive, accessible, and seamless interactions in everyday life.

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.
