Longyue Huang is a PhD student in Planetary Health at the University of Lisbon, working at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, AI literacy, design for ageing, and participatory research. She holds a BEng in Industrial Design from Northeast Petroleum University and an MSc in Product Service System Design from Politecnico di Milano, where she conducted community-based participatory research with older adults and developed digital prototypes to address digital exclusion and support ageing in place. Her current research investigates relational AI literacy, especially focusing on how older adults learn about, interpret, evaluate, negotiate, and engage with AI through everyday social, material, and care relationships. Through participatory design, she explores how older adults can be meaningfully involved in shaping AI-enabled gerontechnologies that support autonomy, lifelong learning, care, and social connection. She combines technical experience in HCI, programming, and AI prototyping with extensive practice in interviews, co-design, and service prototyping with older adults. Her interdisciplinary background is further strengthened by international training and collaboration across HCI, the philosophy of AI, and digital health.
