​I'm a phd student of mechanical engineering at Stanford University in the SHAPE Lab.

My research intersects the fields of human computer interaction, robotics, and haptics, exploring the design of novel physical interfaces.

I believe we can make our lives better with better physical interfaces because, people around me said, we live in a physical world.
