CHING-YI TSAI

About

I’m a Computer Science Ph.D. student at Princeton University, advised by Prof. Parastoo Abtahi. My research explores novel interactions and interfaces across virtual, mixed, and physical reality in human-computer interaction.

My work has been published at ACM CHI and UIST and recognized with one Best Paper Award and one Honorable Mention Award.

Previously, I received my M.S. degree from National Taiwan University, where I was advised by Prof. Mike Yen Chen. I was also a research assistant at the University of Waterloo’s HCI Lab, advised by Prof. Daniel Vogel, and at National Taiwan University’s CPL Lab, advised by Prof. Lung-Pan Cheng.

Outside of research, I’m an enthusiastic jazz saxophonist.
