About Hao
Hi, I am Hao.
I am a PhD candidate in Human-Computer Interaction at the Swinburne Living Lab, Swinburne University of Technology. I have a background in software engineering, and I program in Python, C++, C# and Java. I have taught programming at universities in Australia and China. I have published nine peer-reviewed papers at OzCHI, IEEE, ACM and other venues. I teach in English and Mandarin, and I hold a current Victorian Working with Children Check.
Teaching experience
In Semester 2, 2026, I taught weekly classes in a programming unit at Monash University. Before my first class, I completed the same kinds of tasks that students complete in this unit, so I understand the tasks from a student's point of view. Each week, students submitted their code to me, and I wrote feedback to guide them towards their own solutions. In class, I then discussed the code with each student. When students explained their thinking, we could both see what they had mastered and where more practice would help.
At The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, I worked as a teaching assistant for three semesters. In a Python programming course for 180 undergraduates, I prepared and delivered tutorials, and I created and graded assessments to monitor students' progress. In a game design course for 35 undergraduates, I delivered tutorials and studio sessions and guided students from a first concept to a working prototype. I received the Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award for my work in this course.
Work experience
I work as a support worker for people with disabilities. In this role, I tutor an autistic student in game development one-on-one. We work through the student's coursework in Unreal Engine, and I adapt each session to the student's pace, interests and learning style.
I worked as a research engineer and team leader in a robotics lab at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where I focused on software engineering. I built interactive interfaces in Unity that captured people's eye gaze, hand gestures, voice and facial expressions. I also developed software that used this multimodal input to interpret people's intentions and control robots.
Education
In my PhD, I design and build interactive exercise technology for older adults. I write the software myself, from touchscreen activities in Unity to the Arduino code for a pressure-sensitive mat.
I completed a Master of Philosophy in Computer and Information Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, where I led research projects in augmented reality and multimodal sensing.
Before that, I earned a Bachelor of Engineering in Digital Media Art and a Master of Engineering in Software Engineering at Xiamen University. I was named an Excellent Graduate for both degrees.

Together, we work towards your programming goals until you can write code with confidence.
Maybe you are taking a programming unit at university or TAFE. Maybe you are preparing for VCE Software Development or Algorithmics, or learning to code from scratch. We start from where you are and what you need.
Each lesson is 60 minutes. We take one idea at a time. First, we talk through the idea and try it out together in live code. Then we apply the idea to a new problem, with you at the keyboard.
If you study programming at university or TAFE, we work through the concepts in your unit together. We practise structuring, testing and debugging code side by side. For assessed tasks, we unpack the task requirements and practise the required skills on similar problems.
If you enjoy games, we build your own 2D and 3D games together in Unity and C#, and you learn to program along the way. Every game lesson ends with something new that you can play.
For VCE students, we plan our practice around the VCE Software Development and Algorithmics study designs.
We meet online by default. We can also meet in person in Melbourne's inner east, with a parent at home for students under 18.
