Pin-Hsuan Chen Ph.D.
I am a researcher interesting in human-AI interaction, multimodal interaction, human factors and cognitive psychology.
About me
Hello! I’m Pin-Hsuan Chen. I earned my Ph.D. in 2023 under the guidance of Prof. Pei-Luen Patrick Rau at the Institute of Human Factors and Human-System Interaction, Department of Industrial Engineering, Tsinghua University. Before my doctoral studies, I completed a Master’s in Industrial Engineering at Tsinghua in 2019, following a Bachelor’s in Industrial Engineering and Management from National Chiao Tung University in 2017.
My professional experience includes working as a Product Manager at Li Auto, where I focus on user experience in human-AI interactions within intelligent cockpits. Since joining Li Auto in January 2024, I have been dedicated to improving user satisfaction by solving critical UX challenges and introducing innovative interaction designs.
My research centers on the intersection of human-computer interaction and cognitive psychology, with a focus on AI's impact on human well-being. During my doctoral studies, I investigated how boredom influences cognitive performance in AI-assisted work environments, exploring ways to mitigate its adverse effects. My research involved collecting physiological data, such as EEG, to analyze cognitive functions and emotional responses, yielding insights into both the risks and opportunities of AI in workplace settings.
Selected Research Projects
Cognitive Behaviors of Boredom in Intelligent Interaction Workplaces
We developed a smart homecare dashboard and collected brain signals (Electroencephalography) while participants were interacting with the dashboard. After that, we analyzed alpha oscillations in terms of brain regions to investigate the influence of boredom on cognition.

Boredom in Different Information-Processing Mechanisms in Prolonged Monitoring Tasks
We collected brain signals while participants were monitoring smart homecare system with different processing mechanisms (top-down / bottom up). Then, we analyzed alpha power and alpha synchronization based on brain regions and hemispheres. In this way, we can further specify different cognitive responses when bored based on information processing mechanisms.
