Yuwei's current research interests centre on Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) studies, Science and Technology Studies (STS), digital culture (especially in relation to hacker culture), virtual communities (in connection with e-learning and e-society), and the cultural and socio-technical dynamics in community-based innovation systems. Other research interests include gender and ICTs, democracy and technology, human-computer interaction (HCI, including the issues of usability and accessibility), the digital divide and glocalisation of information technologies, innovation and knowledge management, and intellectual property rights (particularly in relation to software patents and licences).
