Hey there!

I'm Yijing Jiang

I am currently a PhD student at the Computer Science Department of Aarhus University, Denmark, where I work at the intersection of human–computer interaction, personal fabrication, and wearable technology. I am passionate about utilizing tangible, wearable interfaces to enhance human well-being. For my PhD, I aim to pioneer the design and fabrication of intraoral user interfaces, leverage oral movements, tongue gestures, and biosensing for hands-free interaction, health monitoring, and assistive technology.
