Research Interest

As an advocate of human-centered design, Chi Young explores the intersection of human information behavior, human-computer interaction, and consumer health informatics. His research uses human-centered, mixed-method approaches to gain a deeper understanding of people’s interaction with information and technology in various everyday life contexts, particularly during their adjustment to new environments and for their management of physical and mental health.
