Wen Nivala was awarded her first degree of BSc in Electronic Communication Engineering and MSc degree in Physics from National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan. In addition, she had been working as a senior chip-designer/engineer over 5 years.
The industries experiences induces her interest in user-centred design and therefore her research turned to the engagement of end-users and designers due to the motivation. Now her research interest focuses on empathic design, user research, personas and emotional design.
