Research Experience
- Conducting research in the SREAL Lab; Interned at JPMorganChase Global Technology Applied Research during Summer 2024 and Summer 2023.
Education
- PhD candidate at the University of Central Florida, advised by Prof. Greg Welch.
Background
- A Computer Science PhD Candidate, with research interests including virtual/augmented reality, 3D user interfaces, collaboration, and embodiment. Takes an interdisciplinary approach to research, drawing mostly on philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science (especially embodied cognition), as well as media studies to both inspire research questions and design experiments to understand related phenomena.
Miscellany
- Created a comic book that functions like a personal statement, describing how his interests in the humanities and computers have come together into his current academic studies in human-computer interaction and virtual reality. All images were generated with OpenAI's DALL-E 2, except for some photos of the VR hardware on the last page.
