C.V.

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at University of Toronto. My research lies in the general area of Human-Computer Interaction, with a primary focus on understanding how emerging technologies and machine intelligence can be leveraged to develop enhanced and compelling user experiences. My work has led to a number of technologies that are now in commercial products used by millions of users, such as Autodesk Screencast and Autodesk Sketchbook Motion - selected as Apple's 2016 iPad App of the Year .

I received my Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. Prior to Joining University of Toronto I was a Distinguished Research Scientist at Autodesk Research. I have authored over 160 peer-reviewed scientific articles, over 100 patents, and have received eighteen best paper awards and nominations at the ACM UIST and CHI conferences. I served as the Technical Program Co-Chair for the 2014 ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, the Program Committee Co-Chair for the 2015 ACM UIST Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, and the vice-chair of the ACM CHI Steering Committee from 2019 to 2022.

I collaborate closely with several Toronto industry HCI research labs, please use the form below to inquire about internship opportunties.

Research Interests: Intelligent User Interfaces; Computer Science Education; Human-Robot Interaction; 3D User Interfaces; AR/VR Interaction; Technology-Assisted Learning; Wearable and Mobile Interaction; Touch and Pen Input; Interactive Fabrication.

Research Opportunties!
