Josh Saying Hi!
I’m Joshua (Zixu) Bai, a researcher passionate about making technology more human-centered.
Recently graduating from Emory with a background in business, psychology, and linguistics, I’ve explored everything from consumer behavior to accessible visualizations.
My research interests revolve around understanding people, designing intuitive solutions, and bridging the gap between human needs and technology. Whether it’s user research or inclusive designs, I’m all about creating experiences that truly connect. Let’s make the digital world a bit more human together!
My Skill Set
With expertise in business, psychology, and research, I bring a unique blend of skills to the field of User Experience research and HCI. My capabilities encompass interdisciplinary research, visualizations, and a deep understanding of user behavior.
Human Factors
At the intersection of psychology and technology, my research focuses on how human cognitive and visual heuristics inform interface design. I aim to create systems that align with user behaviors and make technology more intuitive.
Mixed-Method Research
I specialize in combining qualitative and quantitative research methods to uncover meaningful insights. Whether it’s through analytics, focus groups, or A/B testing, I enjoy leveraging interdisciplinary approaches to answer complex questions in HCI and UX.
Visualization
From designing interactive interfaces to crafting compelling data storytelling at Emory's Cognition and Visualization Lab, I’ve explored how creative visualizations can enhance user experiences and communicate complex information effectively.
User Experience
Leveraging my business background, I focus on incorporating cross-functional contexts to drive business impact. By aligning user needs with organizational goals, I strive to create solutions that not only meet users needs but also deliver value to stakeholders.
