Stanley Chang - Personal Website

About Me

I am Yung-Ju (Stanley) Chang, an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. From 2023 to 2024, I was a visiting scholar at Stanford University, Department of Communication, contributing to the Human Screenome Project. I earned my B.S. in Computer Science from National Chiao Tung University and an M.S. and Ph.D. from the School of Information at the University of Michigan.

Currently, I lead the Mobile and Ubiquitous Interaction Lab (MUILab), where my research sits at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp). My primary focus is on mobile notifications and multitasking, mobile crowdsourcing, mobile media consumption, human-AI communication, and social media influencers. Recently, I have started exploring technological interventions to promote digital wellbeing on mobile devices, using screenshot-based methodologies to better understand mobile phone and media behavior.

If you're interested in this topic, let's chat! Collaboration is the spice of academic life, and I'm always eager to add more flavor!

For Prospective Students

I welcome students interested in HCI research, particularly focusing on mobile phone usage. Enthusiasm and a genuine interest in the topic are the most important attributes I look for in students. Feel free to reach out with your ideas!
