about
I'm a Ph.D. candidate at University of California, San Diego. I work on programming tools advised by Haijun Xia. I completed my undergraduate at the University of Toronto in Computer Science where I interned at Dynamic Graphics Lab under Prof. Daniel Wigdor, conducting research in immersive analytics and interaction design.
conference publications
A direct manipulation interface to sculpt data into new data and interfaces.
UIST 2025: ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology.
A diagramming language for turning generic notations of data into rich diagrams using a set of 'abstraction moves.'
CHI 2025: Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems.
A description of the content and use of ASCII drawings across large open-source codebases.
CHI 2024: Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems.
Programmers reason about code across multiple levels of abstractions. Can we design a program visualization system that can change its level of abstraction according to the programmers’ needs?
CHI 2023: Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems.
Can we create a pedagogical tool for collaborative programming that balances both agency and interdependence?
CHI 2023: Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems.
Stepping into a museum or a cultural exhibition instills a desire within us to explore new topics and cultures. What if we could create a similar spatial structure for visualizing complex and otherwise difficult to approach datasets? In this work, we explore meaningful layouts and organizational schemes for arranging one’s data analysis steps in the virtual environment.
UIST 2020: ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology.
A common complaint of high-degree of freedom input is that it can lead to unaligned and askew content. We looked into addressing this by enabling dynamic mappings of input degrees of freedom to manipulation axes.
