Dr. Zaiyan Gong is Director of HVR Lab, Tongji University, General Manager of Shanghai AMMI Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., Associate Partner of Hofstede Insights, and board member of DUXU, HCI International. He holds a Ph.D. in Automotive Engineering from Tongji University. His current research activities focus on automotive intelligent cockpit development process across different cultures, including definition, analysis, design, and evaluation. The research covers both rational and emotional fields. For the rational part, he originally created the real-car driving simulation platform, which can test usability with objective quantitative data for any mass-produced cars in a virtual driving scenario. For the emotional part, he introduced the Hofstede 6D culture model into automotive UX
