I am a Computer Science Ph.D. student at the University of Toronto, working with Prof. Tovi Grossman at the Dynamic Graphics Project Lab.
My research area focuses on Human-AI Interaction. I apply my expertise in human-computer interaction and machine learning to develop interactive AI systems and study their implications for users. These systems leverage state-of-the-art AI to enhance human capabilities in creating and consuming digital content, including video, audio, images, and GUIs. Recently, my exploration has centered on leveraging multimodal generative AI models to enable novel interaction paradigms.
I graduated with a Bachelorâs degree in computer science from National Taiwan University. I have also spent wonderful time as a research intern at Google, Adobe, and Meta.
I run pro bono office hours for HCI. If youâre a junior student seeking advice or guidance in HCI research, Iâm here to help.
đ Iâm on the job market for full-time industry research positions starting in 2024. Please reach out if you are aware of any suitable openings!
