Sessional Lecturer, University of British Columbia Okanagan
I help design and evaluate interaction techniques that help people navigate immersive environments and work with large curved displays. My research connects human performance, embodied input, and practical interactive systems.
My work explores pointing, target selection, and navigation across large curved displays and virtual environments. I combine controlled user studies with the development of interactive prototypes.
Leveraging Head Movement for Navigating Off-Screen Content on Large Curved Displays explores head-controlled navigation for content beyond the visible display area.
Investigating pointing and confirmation techniques for moving across different elevations in virtual reality.
Research: Curved-display interaction, VR locomotion, embodied input, and human performance.
Teaching: Computer science and data science at UBC Okanagan, with university teaching experience since 2019.
Applied work: Immersive healthcare education and data-driven decision support for energy-efficient housing.
