I am an Assistant Professor in Interactive Media at the Department of Computer Graphics Technology (CGT), Polytechnic Institute at Purdue University. At Purdue, I lead Design & Engineering for Making (DΞ4M) Lab and promote digital fabrication (dFab) in HCI research. I develop enabling tools, techniques, and devices that mediate and enhance human interaction with physical and virtual objects and environments. My research combines computational design, digital fabrication, mechanical engineering, and computer science to facilitate the making of future tools and interfaces for integrated experience from personal to environmental scales. Before joining Purdue, I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science & Engineering from the University of Washington. I also worked at the HP Labs, Microsoft Research (Redmond), and Keio-NUS CUTE Center. My research was published at top HCI/UbiComp venues such as CHI, UIST, IMWUT, TEI, and ASSETS with awards.

MAKING
I occationally create random interactive installations and knickknacks like the ramblings of a paranoid. My ego revives through the construction of the visual and physical forms of my abstract ideas.
