I am a Ph.D. student at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), advised by Prof. Jeffrey Bigham. My research focuses on designing and building accessible and assistive interactive tools in both digital and physical context.
Before joining CMU, I was a member of HCI Lab at National Taiwan University (NTU), advised by Prof. Mike Y. Chen and Prof. Lung-Pan Cheng. As an undergraduate research assistant, I explored and developed several different enabling and inclusive systems across mixed-reality, mobile and wearable interfaces (see publication page for details).
