Building on my research in digital fabrication / HCI, currently exploring Digital × Physical interactions,
focusing on audio-visual-haptic experiences that invites audience with varied perceptions.
B.S. in Design (Physical Design / Manufacturing) @ Stanford University' 25
3D-printing × BLV accessibility research @ Stanford SHAPE Lab
Pneumatic interface × 3D-printing research @ Morphing Matter Lab / UC Berkeley
After graduating from Stanford University (B.S. in Physical Design + Manufacturing), working on digital fabrication research at Morphing Matter Lab / Stanford SHAPE Lab, building multisensory experiences as Steve Jobs Archive Fellow 2025.
Multi-sensory Interactions
in Human-Computer Interaction.
I started with Audio-interactive Visuals,
then Body-interactive Visuals.
Now, exploring Audio-Visual-Haptic Interactions
to bring the media art experience to broader audience,
regardless of perceptual abilities.
Haptic / Body
Audio-Reactive Haptic Spheres / 2025
Brought audio-visual-haptic experiences to 300+ audiences, bridging the perception gap in the Media Art field.
Puppets / 2024
Live sound with brain wave, finger & head movement (EEG headset and other wearables), live coding visual with CHydra.
New artistic expression with body.
Doppelgänger Instruments / 2024
Live harmonies in real-time alongside pre-recorded videos.
Generated non-existent instruments with capturing body movements.
Instinctive Beats / 2024
Dance-reactive visual system.
To dive into the music, we must keep dancing with our entire body.
AR / VR
How can immersive space make invisible histories and social barriers physically felt?
Designing embodied storytelling systems that turn empathy into shared physical awareness.
AR / VR
Virtual technology, integrated in the real life,
inviting us to "Story-living"
