Interaction Design for Children Lab

Director Dr. MIN FAN (范敏), Professor

introduction

Welcome to IDC Lab

  • Dr. Fan Min completed her PhD and postdoctoral work at the School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT) at Simon Fraser University in Canada. She has been nominated for the Beijing Novel Program and the Academic Youth Scholar program at CUC in 2011. Her research interests revolve around child-centric and tangible interaction design, which she explores through theoretical investigations and the development of child-specific tangible applications. Her work contributes to the fields of interaction design for children, as well as the tangible, embedded, and embodied interaction communities. Dr. Fan Min has published over 30 papers in top HCI journals and conferences, and she has served as an Associate Chair in ACM CHI (22-24) and IDC’22. Additionally, she has organized two design workshops at IDC’23 and ChineseCHI’22 conferences. In recognition of her research, one of her papers received an Honorable Mention Award at CHI’17, placing it among the top 5% of the best papers presented. 
  • Her current research projects focus on two main areas: (1) exploring the design space AI-based interactive learning systems for children with special educational needs, specifically autism and learning difficulties; and (2) designing and evaluating immersive VR/AR/XR environments for learning and well-being.
