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 limitations of virtual communication tools like Zoom and Microsoft Teams from a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) perspectives. I developed solutions such as JollyGesture and CoExplorer (the latter during my internship at Microsoft Research) to help presenters better convey visual non-verbal cues and optimise screen-sharing using generative AI. Currently, I am working on the self-view augmentation project, which aims to enable listeners to more effectively convey visual non-verbal feedback to speakers in a way that is easily interpretable, thereby improving interaction in virtual meetings.
Enhance the interpretation of visual non-verbal cues through encouraging self-monitoring.
Encourage more intentional meetings through LLM-iniated task-space management.
Enable virtual reality presenters to deliver more interactive presentations using gestures.
Tangible Artificial Neural Network (TANN) for intuitive understanding on how to train an artificial neural network.
More efficient video lookup through the use of tangible rate based controller prototypes.
A reference deep learning-based feature detector for transfer learning in the field of epigenomics.
This project is an on-going project.

An exploratory research project relating to computer-mediated meetings. A complete set of result is obtained, and it is published.
Topics: Human-computer interaction, virtual reality, and natural language processing
With Dr Nicolai Marquardt: I suggested the Tangible Artificial Neural Network project and worked on it.
With Prof. Yvonne Rogers and Prof. Anthony Steed: I contributed to 5 different PhD projects, and 2 of which are published as of now.
Conducted a research project on the topic of the rate-based controller for virtual reality environment
