I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park, working with Prof. Jun Nishida in the Embodied Dynamics Laboratory. I explore how assistive technology can augment skill acquisition by sharing sensations and bodily experiences between people, regardless of age, ability, or background.
I come to HCI from industry and ergonomics: five years at SUBARU on systems for transferring assembly knowledge and skills between workers, then a Master of Design at Kyushu University on how people adapt to powered exoskeletons.
