About Me

I am Yao (Marc) Wang, Chinese name 王尧, a Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Stuttgart. My research goal is to understand human perception and improving human-AI interaction via eye tracking. I did my PhD supervised by Prof. Dr. Andreas Bulling. I was a visiting PhD student at the Aalto University in Prof. Antti Oulasvirta’s group in 2023.
