Allison Jing

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at RMIT University and an adjunct Researcher at the Empathic Computing Lab led by Prof Mark Billinghurst at the University of South Australia. My research focuses on using Mixed Reality to superpower human abilities, e.g. how to use different modalities to improve cross-reality collaboration, how to augment social interactions in in-situ environments, and how to utilise biosignals and behaviours to support human-AI empathy.

Based in Melbourne (current) /Seattle (home), my user-driven approaches are derived from years of the customer-focused tech industry (as a content manager and product designer) and academic (as a research scientist intern) experience. Previously, I have worked with Meta Reality Labs (Research), Microsoft, Xbox, Amazon, startups, NGOs, and research centres in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.

I am looking for MR-related research collaboration/funding/projects in both academia and industry.
