Presentation at Adobe Summit 2024.
I’m a Research Scientist at Adobe Research. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Columbia University. I am a recipient of the Snap Research Fellowship (2019) and the Cheung-Kong Innovation Doctoral Fellowship.
My research lie at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction, Generative AI, Visual Computing and AR/VR. I am particularly interested in developing human-centered interaction techniques that are intuitive, immersive, and natural. This work spans three key areas: (1) Enablement: Leveraging computational design and developing AI-driven sensing methods to make passive physical object/environment interactive, as if they were digital. (2) Creation: Empowering users to design interactive experiences with ease and creativity by building new GenAI systems. (3) Evaluation: Studying human factors to ensure our techniques align with human values, needs, and perceptions.
My research outcomes have had various impacts beyond academia. At Adobe, I have presented my research twice during Adobe’s annual event, Summit Sneaks (2022, 2024). These features have also been integrated into Adobe’s product. My past work has received more than 50 media interviews and coverages, including by CNN, Adweek, CACM, and IEEE Spectrum. I also hold 10+ US patents.
Here is my CV.
