About
Weiqin Chen is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, assistive technology, and STEM education. Her work focuses on designing and evaluating innovative interactive systems—particularly multitouch tabletops, tangible user interfaces, and educational robotics—to support diverse learners, including children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her landmark 2012 review on multitouch tabletop technology for people with ASD (87 citations) established a foundational framework for using collaborative, tangible interfaces to address social and cognitive challenges. Chen also pioneered the RoboTable system (2009, 28 citations), which combined tabletop and tangible interfaces to create novel interactive learning environments. Her research on the RoboTale game (2015) demonstrated how tangible robot control can enhance children’s collaborative storytelling. More recently, she has contributed to the integration of technologies in K-12 STEM education (2024). With a career spanning over a decade, Chen’s work has been instrumental in shaping how interactive technologies can be designed for accessibility, collaboration, and learning—making her a key figure in the development of inclusive, technology-enhanced educational tools.
