Here you will find some current and previous projects I have worked on.

Facilitating Programming-based 3D Computer-Aided Design using Bidirectional Programming
This project focuses on improving the design experience in programming-based CAD applications, using OpenSCAD as a case study. By understanding the challenges faced by users through interviews with real users, I introduced innovative interactive features. These features include enhanced navigation for seamless interaction with the interface, real-time object manipulation with automatic code updates, and simplified creation of parametric designs through intuitive actions rather than complex calculations

Adaptic: A Shape Changing Prop with Haptic Retargeting
Our project addresses the challenge in VR of handling multiple interactable objects using props that match the object's shape. By integrating a versatile shape-changing prop with haptic retargeting technology, we create the sensation of interacting with various objects in different VR spaces using just one physical prop. Take a look at our compelling results.
