BIO

My name is Donghan Fu, and I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Information Science and Learning Technologies (SISLT) at the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU). My research sits at the intersection of Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), Human-Artificial Intelligence (AI) Interaction, and AI for health promotion and STEM education. I am especially interested in how generative AI reshapes the ways people communicate, understand, and learn STEM content, and how AI can help address health challenges related to depression and women’s health.

I hold a Ph.D. in Communication from Beijing Normal University (BNU), during which I was a visiting scholar in the Department of Communication Arts at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2024. I earned an M.A. in Journalism and Communication from Wuhan University (WHU), as well as dual bachelor’s degrees: a B.S. in Chemistry from Central China Normal University (CCNU) and a B.A. in Advertising from WHU. Prior to joining SISLT at Mizzou, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at WHU from 2024 to 2025.
