​I am a final-year PhD student in Human-Computer Interaction at City University of Hong Kong, advised by Kening Zhu and co-supervised by Alvaro Cassinelli. I develop shape-changing interface tools and interactive artifacts using origami-inspired structures, embedded actuation, and reusable physical substrates. My work asks how dynamic physical systems can become easier to design and iterate - and how they can support more expressive, embodied, and socially meaningful interaction.

​

I am currently on the job market and open to academic and industry opportunities in HCI, design research, and interactive systems.

Research Vision

I explore how tangible interfaces can shape everyday life and how people can more easily build, explore, and customize their own interactive artifacts. In my PhD studies, I have focused on shape-changing interfaces as a fun, exciting, and expressive design space for tangible interaction. In particular, I develop tools and interactive systems based on origami-inspired and other structured forms, and study how dynamic physical systems can become easier to design, iterate, and adapt for users in practice.

​In the future, I hope to continue exploring shape-changing interfaces through a broader range of geometrically and mechanically informed structures, and to investigate how they can better fit into both the physical and virtual worlds.
