My work focuses on developing interactive technologies, leveraging advancements in display technology, low-power sensing, wearables, robotics and actuation, soft electronics, interactive textile, and human-computer interaction. I am specifically interested in techniques that enable new interaction for the augmentation and empowerment of human abilities. This includes augmented reality, ubiquitous computing, mobile devices, 3D user interfaces, interaction techniques, interfaces for accessibility and health, medical imaging, multimodal systems, and software/hardware prototyping.

Data analysis and interactive visualizations related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Uses data from Data Packaged Core Datasets which maintains a population dataset and a COVID-19 dataset, which is a cleaned and normalized version of the data from John Hopkins CSSE.

The plots are interactive:
  • Highlight country: Click the country name in legend
  • Highlight multiple countries: Hold down shift, while clicking additional countries in the legend
  • Zoom: Scroll to zoom in/out
