Linus Tan, Ph.D.
Hello, and welcome to my website!
My name is Linus Tan (陈励煌) and this is my digital portfolio of works as a researcher, educator, and designer. I’m currently a lecturer at Swinburne University of Technology, where I research on how architects and designers think, act and learn. I also investigate how using Generative AI changes the way designers think, behave, and learn.
