Biography
Yuhao He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. at the School of Design. Building on her architectural training, she aims to develop HCI-oriented research platforms that blend extended-reality (XR) immersion, multimodal sensing, and computer-vision analytics to quantify the interplay between environments and human perception. By fusing real-time physiological tracking with environmental metrics such as visual complexity, soundscape, and microclimate, she maps the cognitive and emotional restoration potential of urban environments at a fine granularity.
