  • Summer 2010: Looking for interns - I'm looking for interns for Summer 2010, particularly interested in the areas of surface computing, novel input devices, or augmented reality. If you're creative, like to tinker with software and hardware, have good programming skills, and interested in working with me, send me an email.
About me

I am a researcher in the Adaptive Systems and Interaction group at Microsoft Research. My research is on novel surface computing technologies and their impact on human-computer interaction. Prior to working at Microsoft, I received my PhD at Columbia University, working on augmented reality projects that combine immersive experiences with interactive tabletops.

My projects explore the space where the flat digital world of surface computing meets the curved, physical, 3D space we live in. My current research interests include:

  • new form factors for surface computing
  • multi-touch and freehand gestural input
  • 2D and 3D interactions
  • augmented reality
