Xiaoyan (Shelley) Li
UX Researcher
PhD in Information Science
@ Cornell University
I am a UX researcher with 6 years of experience conducting end-to-end qualitative and quantitative UX research on tech products. As an instructor of UX Design & Research courses at Cornell University, I had a rewarding experience mentoring junior UX researchers and project teams.
During my Ph.D. in Information Science (HCI) at Cornell University, I worked at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction, User Experience and Communication. In my spare time, I enjoy running, coffee, and being close to nature.
