Research Vision: I envision a future where intelligent wearable assistants seamlessly integrate into our daily lives—understanding users and their contexts to offer proactive, minimally intrusive support. These assistants will be our personalized companions, enhancing productivity, improving experiences, and reducing errors—empowering every step we take.
My research bridges Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Augmented Reality (AR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). By combining user-centered design, multimodal interaction, and emerging AI technologies, I develop novel techniques, tools, and platforms that empower users, developers, designers, and researchers—creating an ecosystem to reimagine how we interact with digital systems anytime, anywhere.
2025/03: Our vision paper “Empowering Every Step: Towards Intelligent Wearable Assistants” has been accepted at CHI’25 Workshop: Everyday AR through AI-in-the-Loop.
