xiruo.wang.22@ucl.ac.uk

I am currently a Senior Level Artist at NetEase Games, specializing in environment art and level design for large-scale MMORPGs.

In parallel, I work as a AI Technical Artist at Ada Eden (AI Native Game Studio). My works—Moonlit Windows, 1001 Nights, and Years of the Sea—have been showcased in over 20 international exhibitions, festivals, and academic events, including CHI, SIGGRAPH Asia, Gamescom, Ars Electronica Festival, EGX London, London Games Festival, and A MAZE./Berlin 2024.

I am now pursuing a PhD opportunity to research how immersive, multisensory VR environments can be designed to generate emotionally responsive and dynamic experiences. My focus is on interactive multimodal systems that integrate player input, physiological signals, and narrative-level logic to support emotional well-being and artistic expression. This work aims to bridge design, technology, and psychology to create personalized, healing experiences in virtual spaces.
