I am a PhD Candidate at Dynamic Graphics Project at the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto.
My current area of focus is enhancing the effectiveness of remote meetings by addressing the frictions caused by the use of remote meeting systems like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, from a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) perspective. I developed prototypes such as JollyGesture and CoExplorer (the latter during my internship at Microsoft Research) to help presenters better convey visual non-verbal cues and optimize screen-sharing using generative AI. I also worked on the self-view augmentation project and a project about common ground, which aims to enable participants in remote meetings to more effectively convey (visual non-verbal) feedback to other participants in a way that is easily interpretable, thereby improving interaction in remote meetings.
