My name is Xinyu (Joseph) Jia. I am now a PhD student in the Information School, University of Sheffield. Before starting my PhD study, I got my Bachelor of Internet of Things Engineering from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China.
With a background in computer science, I proceeded to the Information School in 2022 where I completed a Master of Science degree in Information Management. During my master’s study, I gained an interest in information behavior research, enabling me to stay in the Information School for my PhD study.
