PhD Student – Computer Science
Human Computer Integration Lab
I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Chicago, working in the Human Computer Integration Lab led by Prof. Pedro Lopes. My interests lie in haptics, wearable devices, VR/AR and robotics.
Previously, I obtained my B. Eng. in Computer Engineering at McGill University in Canada. During that time, I was involved in the McGill Formula Electric design team, a design competition where students are tasked with designing, manufacturing and racing their own formula student car.
