Haptic-based Interaction Researcher

I am a multidisciplinary researcher specializing in 'Tangible Intelligence' to bridge the sensory gap between digital and physical realms. With a unique convergence of Fine Arts, Design, Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering, I construct the 'logic of sensation' where engineering meets human perception. By deeply understanding human perception, I am committed to designing systems that provide genuine physical feedback for impactful training and interaction. I am continually motivated by the challenge of transforming complex engineering into intuitive, human-centered experiences that empower and enrich lives.
