About

I am a Senior Researcher in the Multimodal Experiences Lab, Advanced Technology Group at Dolby Laboratories. I envision a future where immersive experiences adapt to people, rather than the other way around. My research explores adaptive, personalized, and multimodal interactions, bringing together HCI, AI, and immersive computing to create experiences that are more intuitive, engaging, and responsive to human needs.

Prior to joining Dolby, I was a Research Scientist in the Global Technology Applied Research Group at JPMorganChase, managed by Prof. Blair MacIntyre. I obtained my Ph.D. degree at Virginia Tech in May 2023 advised by Prof. Doug A. Bowman. I was a proud member of the 3D Interaction Group, and my doctoral research received the prestigious VR Dissertation Award by the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Community (VGTC). I worked as a Research Scientist Intern at Meta Reality Labs Research in the summer of 2021 and 2022, mentored by Dr. Yan Xu. During my undergraduate studies, I was advised by Prof. Hai-Ning Liang who introduced me to the research world. My research interests lie broadly in the intersections of Spatial/Multimodal User Interface, Human-AI Interaction, AI/ML techniques such as Reinforcement Learning and LLM, and Augmented/Mixed/Virtual Reality. I have published full papers in premiere venues such as IEEEVR, ISMAR, TVCG, and ACM CHI, SUI.
