Description: I am a research Scientist at FX Palo Alto Laboratory (FXPAL). I conduct research into sensor-based mobile user interfaces that enable post-touchscreen user interfaces that incorporate motion gestures and free-space input. I am also interested in exploring spatial interaction techniques in cooperative work environments and augmented spaces, as well as the use of mobile devices in surface computing applications.
I am a Senior Research Engineer at Snapchat's HCI Group , based in Seattle.
I am passionate about inventing new interactive technologies that improve the users’ experience and empowers them with new and exciting capabilities. I am a full-stack interactive systems engineer and who invents interactive artifacts from electronics up to the UI software. I have a keen interest in applying AI and machine learning to create new interactive applications and experiences, by allowing machines to understand human gestures, activities, mental and physical states. As a Human-Computer Interaction
Prior to joining Snapchat as a Senior Research Engineer, I worked as a Senior UX engineer building UI for self-driving trucks at Kodiak Robotics . From 2017-2018, I was member of the Future Experience Team at Harman International . Before that, I worked as a research scientist at FX Palo Alto Laboratory (FXPAL) . During my Ph. D. studies, I worked as a research assistant at Media Informatics and Human-Computer Interaction Group at the University of Munich , Germany, where I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Sci
