Honorable Mention Award, top 5%
Sketch-based widgets for authoring scene manipulation behavior directly in context.
Fall 2026
I will be joining the Georgia Institute of Technology as Lecturer in the School of Computing Instruction.
I am completing my PhD in computer science at the University of Toronto, advised by Professor Karan Singh in the Dynamic Graphics Project lab. My research focuses on in-situ interaction and direct manipulation for creation, design exploration, and interactive graphics applications.
I have served as a course instructor at the University of Toronto and Georgia Tech, where I enjoy teaching and working with students. I care about story-driven lectures and dynamic visualizations that make complex ideas easier to see. I have also worked as a teaching assistant for over 20 semesters.
I completed my B.S. in Computer Science and M.S. in Computer Science (Computer Graphics) at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I worked with Professor Greg Turk on 3D fabrication and Professor Jarek Rossignac on truss-lattice tetrahedral structures.
Outside of research and teaching, I enjoy serving my church, buying specialty coffee, and Olympic Weightlifting (snatch: 90kg, clean & jerk: 111kg).
