01 / ABOUT ME
Design with intention.
Build with understanding.
陳家興 Chia-Hsing Chen, Ph.D.
My work sits at the intersection of interaction design, programming, data visualization, smart spaces, IoT, and artificial intelligence. I transform emerging technologies into interactive systems that can be understood, experienced, and applied in real-world environments.

Urban Thermal Environment
Visualization
Three-dimensional visualization of thermal environments in urban canyons
Facade color: pale yellow → orange → red indicates increasing surface temperature. Spatial patterns follow the reference image; the temperature slider is illustrative, not measured study data.
Geocarto International · 2022 ↗SCIE · JCR Q2 (2025, best quartile) ↗04 / TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
From design thinking to computational thinking.
Programming is a medium.
Ideas become experiences.
Interaction design students should understand how systems are
built, connected, and deployed—not only how their interfaces look.
DESIGN → PROGRAMMING → DATA → INTERACTION → INTELLIGENT SYSTEM
Read. Modify. Debug.
Build programming fundamentals through progressive practice in code reading, modification, debugging, system integration, and interactive prototyping.
Understand. Limit. Verify. Correct.
Learn AI principles and limitations. Define requirements, decompose problems, set constraints, and verify generated results through tests, human review, and error tracking.
05 / TEACHING & LEARNING
From the first line of code
to a connected world.
A hands-on learning path for interaction design students.
