Hi, I am Li Bian. Welcome to my personal website!
I am currently a Research Assistant
at MIT Media Lab, Information Ecology Group, Camridge, MA,
USA. Previously, I studied Interaction Design in Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design and the Danish Design School,
Denmark. I graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in June 2008, with a Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I have worked on Project Touchstone in the Software Agents Group and Project TaPuMa in the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT Media Lab.
In my internship experience, I have worked in Microsoft India
Development Center's Emerging Market Sector on education and
in Microsoft Research Asia's (Beijing) HCI Group on green
technology.
I have a strong passion in technology and design, and I believe in the power of creation when technology and design are combined. I also love philosophy and literature; my favorite philosophers are Aristotle and Kant. In free time I enjoy writing poems and playing sports.
I came to the United States from China in September 2001. My hometown in China is “travelling”, as it was a frequent journey back and forth across the country. I have lived in India for total six months in various urban and rural areas.
I also lived in Denmark for nine month for my design
studies. At present, I am back to MIT Media Lab for new
technology/design adventures.
