About Me
I am a Ph.D. student of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, advised by Prof. Ahmed Sabbir Arif, at the University of California, Merced.
My research interest lies in the general area of alternative devices in HCI, particularly on interaction and input methods on wearable devices, such as smartwatches.
I received my Master’s Degree from University of Southern California, and my Bachelor’s Degree from Beijing Jiaotong University.
