Xin Wei

I am a third-year Ph.D. student at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) in Japan, where I am a member of the Cybernetics and Reality Engineering (CARE) Laboratory under the supervision of Prof. Kiyoshi Kiyokawa.

My research interests broadly lie in understanding humans through perceptual, physiological, and behavioral sensing. I explore how signals such as eye movements, muscle activity, and affective dynamics can be measured and interpreted to reveal health condition, internal states, intentions, and perceptual changes. By deepening our understanding of these human signals, I aim to develop technologies that can perceive, predict, and respond to people in more natural, supportive, and health-aware ways. Ultimately, I hope to create seamless and unobtrusive sensing systems that enhance everyday life—tools that monitor well-being without disruption, assist people intuitively when needed, and address real-world challenges by fitting effortlessly into the rhythms of daily living.
