Mingnan Lin is a PhD student in the Dyson School of Design Engineering at Imperial College London. With a background in industrial design and user experience engineering, her research lies in rituals and experience design, particularly in how ritual-based interventions shape employee experience in hybrid work environments.
Mingnan is the teaching assistant at Designing Interventions for Behavioural Change, run by Dyson School, and User Experience Engineering, run by Goldsmiths. Recently, Mingnan also worked as a research assistant in IICL-Lab. Below is a list of interesting topics that are under exploration:

Ritual design
Rituals are significant in shaping human affective and behavioural responses. Many rituals in our social life have a tight connection to culture. Today's rituals are also intentionally designed to improve daily life. This research focuses on exploring the design and effectiveness measurement of ritual-based interventions.

EEG
EEG provides a lens for understanding human neurophysiological responses to design activities. This research focuses on utilising neural data to deepen our understanding of how users think, feel, and engage.

Hybrid work environments
Hybrid work is a relatively new work mode in modern employment. It provides employees with a certain flexibility of working on-site and remotely. This research is interested in exploring the design to support emerging behavioural patterns (e.g., hybrid collaboration)
