Hi, I am Xiangfei Kong! I am a Computer Science M.S. student at the University of South Florida and joined the RARE Lab in October 2023. I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree from Qufu Normal University in China and my M.S. in Marketing from USF. In addition, I received a Pathway to Computing Graduate Certificate in Spring 2023.

My main research interest is leveraging augmented reality (AR) for the replicability and reproducibility of empirical experiment results. Specifically, I am investigating whether AR virtual robots can be a possible replacement for physical robots in some empirical research focusing on subjective experience.
