Hello everyone,
This is Hengyi (Holly) and I’m a second year doctoral student in school of information. I got my master degree of Library and Information Science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2013. Before that,I studied Computer Science at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Before entering the doctoral program, I worked as an IT consultant for KPMG and graduate assistant/programmer for International & Area Studies Library and Grainger Engineering Library in UIUC.
My research interests include Online group work,Social computing, Human-computer interaction,and Social informatics.
Outside of the field of research: I’m originally from Suzhou, which is a major city on the east coast of China and well-known for its classical gardens. Before coming to U.S, I have studied and worked in Hong Kong and Japan so I can speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and Japanese. Outside of the field of LIS, I have played violin and double bass for long. I’m also a GO (One kind of East Asian board game) player, manga and PC/video game enthusiast, figure skating fan and bunny owner!
