Dr. Cecilia Xi Wang's primary research interests lie in the overlap of design philosophy, user experience design, healthcare design, service design, visual communication design, and multi-disciplinary design. With the underlying of an increasingly complex and dynamic social and culture, we must rethink the value of design. The critical near-term challenge is understanding how better design thinking can help achieve an organic flow of experience in concrete situations, making such experiences more intelligent, meaningful, and sustainable.

Dr. Wang is interested in discovering designers' ability to find new relationships among signs, things, actions, and thoughts take advantage of design thinking, the challenge is to reconsider and reconstruct the relationship between design research and practice. With her visual communication and user experience design and research experience, she feels well-placed to recognize how to exploit new design thinking philosophy and methods for ever more meaningful and valuable experience in concrete situations.
