An fNIRS-Based Interpretable Framework for Recognizing and Predicting Social-Emotional State in Children with ASD under Multimodal Social Robot InterventionIEEE Transactions on Affective Computing, Early Access, 1–18, 2026
HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION / DESIGN RESEARCH
Hi, I’m Nanyi Wang (王南轶)
I am a PhD candidate at Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) and a CSC Joint PhD student at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). My research sits at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction and Intelligent Design. I develop multimodal HCI/HRI systems and psychophysiological computing models to create more empathetic, adaptive and intelligent interactions.
I enjoy performing magic
