About
Irene Feng is a rising leader in the emerging field of digital ergonomics and human-computer interaction, with a focus on the complex relationship between stress and technology. Her work redefines how we understand stress in the digital age—not merely as a negative byproduct of technology use, but as a critical factor influencing both objective performance and subjective user experience. In her highly cited 2024 review, "A new era for stress research," Feng synthesizes decades of research to chart a forward-looking agenda for stress and ergonomics. She structures her analysis across three levels—individual user, system design, and organizational context—providing a comprehensive framework that bridges cognitive psychology, human factors, and user experience design. Though early in her career, her work has already garnered significant attention, with her flagship paper accumulating citations rapidly and establishing her as a key voice in the conversation about designing technology that supports, rather than undermines, human well-being. Feng’s contributions are particularly notable for their practical implications, offering actionable insights for creating adaptive, stress-aware interfaces that enhance both performance and user satisfaction in an increasingly digital world.
