📣I’ll be recruiting graduate students for Fall 2024, and am actively looking for research interns and students at different levels! Interested in Machine Learning and Sensing, Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction Technologies - let's connect!
Beyond thrilled to share that I have defended my PhD at @cmuhcii and will be joining @NorthwesternU as an Assistant Professor & Lisa Wissner-Slivka and Benjamin Slivka Chair in Computer Science. Huge thanks to my advisors, collaborators, family & friends for their support!
Interested to help build out a multidisciplinary center (CREATE) at UW iSchool focusing on accessible technology and experiences? Apply to be Director of Strategy and Operations: create.uw.edu/about/jobs-and…

Absolutely overjoyed to meet with my research hero @hrvojebenko at #CHI2023!
Took a fanboy selfie with him in 2018, and I've always been amazed by his kindness & appreciation for my work 😊 It's moments like these that remind me of how fortunate I'm to be part of this community.
Great work by our team on gaze assisted gesture typing. Check it out at #IUI2023.
Can gaze be used implicitly to enhance XR typing? We answer this in our #IUI2023 paper "Gaze Speedup: Eye Gaze Assisted Gesture Typing in Virtual Reality" being presented tomorrow by @MaozhengZhao! Work in collab w/ A. Pierce, R. Tan, T. Zhang, T. Wang, @trjonker, @hrvojebenko

PhD research internships at Meta Reality Labs! We’re exploring adaptive input and interfaces for AR and VR. Come invent the future with us in 2023. See my website for prior internship and scientist projects from our lab.
Interested? Dm with resume.
Honored and humbled last night to receive the #uist2022 Lasting Impact Award shared with incredible @hciprof and @thundercarrot. Hard to believe that more than 10 years have passed since our OmniTouch work.
Boarding the plane, going to #uist2022! Looking forward to meeting old friends and making new ones! Oh and of course… learning about the new advances in HCI. 😉Reach out if you want to connect.

Another quick batch of announcements for our fabulous set of interns @RealityLabs at Meta. They are working in various HCI areas of computational interaction, input, and adaptive interfaces. Amazing research is happening! Thread follows...
Ryo Takahashi from the University of Tokyo is working with Eric Whitmire (@ewhitmire) on wireless sensing for wearables
Anandghan Waghmare (@Anandghan_W) from the University of Washington @UW is working with Roger Boldu on multimodal sensor fusion to sense finger microgestures
