I recently defended my PhD dissertation in Human–Computer Interaction at City University of Hong Kong, advised by Kening Zhu and co-supervised by Alvaro Cassinelli. I develop authoring tools and reusable active substrates for shape-changing interfaces through computational design, origami-inspired structures, and embedded actuation. My work asks how physical form and motion can become easier to design, revise, and compose—and how they can support expressive, embodied, and socially meaningful interaction.

I am currently seeking postdoctoral and research positions in tangible interaction, computational design, and interactive systems.

Research Vision

My long-term vision is to make physical transformation as authorable and revisable as digital behavior. I explore how reusable active substrates, geometrically and mechanically informed structures, and computational tools enable designers to define form, configure actuation, preview behavior, and retune motion after fabrication. Rather than treating each shape-changing artifact as a one-off prototype, I aim to create systems in which forms and motions can be explored, composed, repaired, and repurposed.

At the application stage, I use design studies to examine how these capabilities translate into tangible interaction—how structural and motion primitives become expressive artifacts, embodied interactions, and situated applications. These studies reveal opportunities and constraints that guide more accessible, adaptable, and meaningful physical authoring systems.​
