Hello, I'm Gennie - an human computer interaction researcher
exploring how people engage with digital information.
Passionate about translating research into actionable,
human-centered design.
Research
Physiological Signals for Detecting Belief and Truth in Fake News
TIME Lab, ANU | Jul 2024 – Jun 2025This study explored how physiological signals (EDA and PPG) can reflect user trust and belief in online misinformation. I designed and ran a lab study with 46 participants, processed and analyzed biosignal data using Python, and built classification models to predict belief.
Digital Competencies of Vietnamese Children
CyberKid Vietnam | Jan 2024 – Mar 2025Led a large-scale, mixed-methods study involving 400+ surveys and 100 interviews with Vietnamese children aged 10–16. I designed research instruments, conducted thematic analysis, and co-developed a national framework for digital safety and education policy. Findings informed government-level discussions on digital literacy.
Ethical AI Chatbot for Global Policy Engagement
Boston Global Forum | Apr – Oct 2024Collaborated on the design and testing of an AI chatbot applying value-sensitive design and reinforcement learning. I led usability testing and conversation flow evaluations to ensure transparency and ethical alignment. Insights contributed to global AI policy briefs.

How I Got Here
I began my career in visual design — crafting identities, interfaces, and digital experiences that reached thousands of users. But I often found myself asking: why do people trust certain interfaces or stories more than others?
This curiosity led me to pursue computing and research, where I now study user cognition, trust, and digital literacy using tools like physiological signal analysis. My research is rooted in real-world design work — shaped not just by theory, but by practice and social impact.
