Biography

Jinghui Cheng received an M.Sc.Eng. degree in Computer Systems Engineering (2009) and a B.Sc.Eng. degree in Information Engineering (2006) from Xi’an Jiaotong Univeristy, China. He obtained his Ph.D. degree at DePaul University, Chicago (2017), and was an associate research fellow at the University of Notre Dame (Notre Dame, Indiana) between September 2016 and September 2017. Prior to his Ph.D. study, he has accumulated years of industrial experience as a game developer. His current research combines the fields of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Software Engineering. He is particularly interested in exploring technologies that support practitioners who have domain-specific expertise but special information needs, including software engineers, designers, and domain experts.
