I will join the University of Chicago, Computer Science Department as an assistant professor from January 2022.
I'm actively looking for students (undergrad and graduate[Master/PhD]), post-docs, and interns, who have strong passion and curiosity to co-develop a new lab - Actuated Experience Lab (*tentative name).

[UPDATE Dec 6, 2021] I've listed info of available positions here!
'Tangible Curiosity'
I invent and speculate in the gap between our fingertips and the physical world, with means of physical computing, robotics, and HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) research.
Driven by curiosity and tangible prototyping processes, I investigate the future of physical space and materials coupled with computation for novel physical experiences.
..too abstract? A more concrete research statement can be found here ;D
