About me
My name is Xiaoning/Pepper Wang (汪小甯). I'm a master of information studies student at McGill University, as well as a passionate explorer at the intersection of technology and human experience.
Academic Life
My academic journey commenced with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Toronto, where I developed a keen interest in the intricacies of the human mind and its interaction with technology. Therefore, I am diving deep into the world of Human-Computer Interaction and User Experience Design.
Currently, I am engaged in research at McGill's ACT Research Group, supervised by Prof. Karyn Moffatt, as well as Prof. Amira Ghenai. My research interests focus on human-computer interaction (HCI) and accessibility, with a particular emphasis on combating misinformation on social media. I am also interested in exploring online communication dynamics and developing AI solutions to support and enhance people's interactions and experiences in digital environments.
Extracurricular Life
Outside the academic sphere, my passions lie in literature and music. I am an avid reader, a novelist at heart, and a violinist by choice. These are not mere pastimes but integral parts of who I am, infusing my professional path with rich creativity and profound empathy.
Join me in this tapestry of learning, innovation, and artistic expression, where each thread is interwoven with a commitment to making technology accessible and meaningful for all.
