Principal Investigator
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech.
Before joining Georgia Tech, I spent two wonderful years at Virginia Tech as a faculty member. Prior to this, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Visual Computing Group at Harvard University, and received my Ph.D. from Human-Centred Computing Department, Monash University, Australia.
My research focuses on VR/AR/MR/XR, Visualization (VIS), and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). I regularly publish in premier venues such as ACM CHI, ACM UIST, IEEE TVCG, IEEE VR, IEEE VIS, ISMAR, and EuroVis, with my work earning three Best Paper Honorable Mention Awards (IEEE VIS 2016 & 2022; ACM CHI 2021). I am an NSF CAREER Award recipient and was selected as a Google Research Scholar in 2025.
I also serve as a Program Committee member for several prestigious conferences in my fields, including IEEE VIS 2022/23/24, ACM CHI 2023/24/25/26, IEEE VR 2022/23/24/25, and ISMAR 25.
