I'm a fifth year Ph.D. candidate, an AR/VR enthusiast, an HCI researcher @HiLab,
Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering,
UCLA, advised by Prof. Yang Zhang.
I also had the fortune to work with mentors Alex Olwal, David Kim, and Ruofei Du. I will be interning at JPMC AR/VR Research Department this summer.
My research is about Extended Reality interaction with a focus on human body embodiment.
Leveraging human expertise of their own body, I morph human body into virtual and physical objects to help users control objects intuitively.
I also apply anthropomorphism to objects, utilizing common sense to help users easily understand smart environments.
I am on job market, open to opportunities in both academia and industry.
