About
I’m a 1st-year Computer Science Ph.D. Student at Princeton University, advised by Prof. Parastoo Abtahi. I research novel interactions and interfaces in virtual, mixed, or physical reality in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
My works have been recognized and published in top HCI venues such as ACM CHI and UIST, 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.
In my free time, I’m an enthusiastic jazz saxophonist!

Taking a hands-off approach to tech
Controlling apps with your feet is the focus of new research at the University of Waterloo. Researchers found slight variations in how you walk could be enough to tell augmented reality devices what you want to do ...... “Scrolling through a web page or scrolling through a menu, scrolling through a list of apps, adjusting the brightness or … volume,” said Tsai. As augmented reality glasses inch closer to mainstream use, the researchers have shown what is possible and that this concept has legs.
