I am a PhD candidate in the C Design Lab at Purdue University. I am particularly interested in applying novel sensing techniques to bring the new forms of input metaphor for Human-computer interaction. My research has focused on promoting natural human-computer interactions through wearables and tangible media. Particularly, I have worked on enriching the capability of the human hands by employing multi-modal sensing textiles for eyes-free interaction, magnetic sensing based 3D mobile input, and instant & customizable everyday object interactions. Areas of interest include wearable/tangible interface, sensing techniques & fabrication, and novel input device. Currently, my research aims at combining the state-of-art machine learning approaches with novel sensing technique to better support natural human-computer interaction.

I received my B.S & M.S degrees from Carnegie Mellon University in 2008 with major in Mechanical Engineering and minor in Robotics. I worked at Research Department in LG Display & LG Electronics for 5 years. There, I involved in product development for consumer electronics as well as futuristic product including 'Transparent & Public Display', 'Assistive/Rehabilitation Robot', and 'Smart Car User Interface'.
