About Me
👨🎓 I’m a master student at University of Waterloo supervised by Prof. Edward Lank. Before that, I was an undergraduate student at Zhejiang University.
👋 I enjoy creating new interaction techniques to solve real world problems. My research interests lie in VR & AR Interaction and Mobile Interaction.
📸 I’m also a street photographer. I observe and capture the decisive moments and give them interesting names. Please check my pics here.
🎵 Music is also a very important part of my life. I enjoy all kinds of music, especially classical and jazz. Currently, I’m learning the violin and Chinese bamboo flute.
