Bingjun Liu

I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Information Studies. My research seeks to understand the user engagement with museums' digital information services in relation to both historical contexts and the contemporary society. For my master’s dissertation, I was working on how mobile computing has changed user expectations towards museum websites, and it was awarded the Stephen Robertson Prize for the annual best dissertation.

Currently, I am working part-time as a Data Standard Editor at the Victoria and Albert Museum, involving in the project “Chinese Iconography Thesaurus (CIT)”. This project aims to create an indexing standard that will facilitate access and inter-operability of Chinese digital images across collections.

I had also worked as a Teaching assistant at DIS for the modules: INST0007 Web Technologies, INST0018 Internet Technologies, INST0029 Server Programming and Structured Data, and INST0032 XML.
