Hi, I am Dario Liu
I am a second-year Master's student specializing in HCI at the University of Maryland. I am interested in the topics related to regulate daily emotions, stress, behavior change. Under the guidance of Dr. Pablo Paredes and Dr. Ashock Agrawala at the Pervasive Wellbeing Tech Lab and Mind Lab, I've cultivated an interest in designing affective computing technologies, embodied technologies that facilitate behavioral changes, aiming to enhance pervasive well-being for individuals.
I am also interested in Human- AI interaction. With the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the modern world, I'm intrigued by the evolving interaction between humans and AI. This dynamic prompts questions about our trust in AI and how we can design interactions to enhance both efficiency and convenience in our daily lives.

With the world's population aging, younger generations are spending less time with their families, leaving older generations at risk of loneliness, falls, and depression during the rehabilitation process. During my first job, I worked on a project focused on building a care companion robot to address these issues by targeting fall prevention, rehabilitation, and stress management for elderly individuals.
