Hi, I’m Yuting!

I am a research assistant in the School of Data and Information Sciences at UNC–Chapel Hill, working with Dr. Franklin Mingzhe Li. Previously, I was a predoctoral researcher in Georgia Tech’s School of Interactive Computing (2025–2026), advised by Dr. Shaowen Bardzell in the ESCape Lab.

I study how technology can support healthcare before diagnosis, during treatment, and through recovery, both inside healthcare institutions and in everyday settings beyond them. I am particularly interested in the needs and experiences of marginalized and vulnerable populations. My work spans accessibility, women’s health, and queer youth. I am also exploring AI as a potential way to accompany people through the stretches of care that fall outside clinical settings.

I hold an MA in Global Communication from CUHK’s School of Journalism and Communication and a BA in Network and New Media from Sichuan University’s College of Literature and Journalism.

I am seeking PhD opportunities for Fall 2027.
