[JOIN ME!] Launching my Lab at the U Chicago from Jan 2022!
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).
Please check my blog post to learn more about the department and my lab, and feel free to reach out to me through this form if you are interested in joining / collaborating!
[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
(Please refer to Tangible Media Group web and Google Scholar as well.)
