Designing accessible, intelligent systems for real contexts.
I am a researcher working across immersive XR, audio description, multimodal interaction, and healthcare AI. My PhD work centered on accessible 360° musical performance experiences for blind and low-vision users; my postdoctoral work expands into critical-care AI and digital twins.
Profile Snapshot
Khang Dang, PhD
Human-centered AI and accessibility researcher trained in Information Systems/HCI, with work spanning VR musical performances, spatial audio description, accessible media, and clinical AI.
Research Focus
View all research →Accessibility XR & Audio Description
Immersive, interactive, intelligent, and individualized audio description for 360° VR musical performances, designed with blind and low-vision users and audio description professionals.
02Healthcare AI & Digital Twins
Clinical AI, ICU temporal modeling, and patient-specific digital twins for critical-care decision support and interpretable prediction workflows.
03Accessible Video & Sound
Captioning and non-speech information research for online video, with emphasis on D/deaf and hard-of-hearing access to music, sound effects, and narrative audio cues.
PhD to Postdoc Thread
The throughline is human-aware technology: systems that help people perceive, decide, participate, and make meaning.
