I am interested in the role of technology in revolutionizing leisure experiences and its impacts on individuals' well-being. My research explores multifaceted aspects of digital leisure in new media contexts. My projects include the leisure use of TikTok to mediate tourism experiences and the co-creation values of esports participation.
