I

Featured Research

Status

Manuscript in preparation for ACM CHI 2027

Role

System design and development, study design, data collection and analysis

01 — Question

How do interactive platforms reshape creative expression and collaborative processes during short-video creation?

02 — System

Designed and developed CoTok, an interactive platform combining social-media-inspired collaborative interactions with AI-assisted synthesis to support group ideation and early-stage video creation.

03 — Research

Investigated how platform-mediated interaction influences

  • Creative expression
  • Idea development
  • Collaborative participation
  • Team workflows
  • Diversity of creative exploration

The work broadly identifies design tensions between facilitating collaborative interaction and maintaining diverse creative exploration.

From computation to physical systems

Engineering work that grounds my interest in interaction beyond the screen: systems that sense, decide, and act in the physical world.

  • Modelled an integrated water system in MATLAB involving pump dynamics, pressure constraints, membrane behaviour and system-level decision logic.
  • Developed a camera-based particle-monitoring workflow involving image calibration, measurement, sensing and threshold-based detection.

  • Safety logic
  • Laser-cut & 3D-printed fabrication
  • Debugging and iterative validation
  1. Sense
  2. Compute
  3. Act
  4. Respond

A closed loop between sensing, computation, actuation and human response — the same structure I now want to study with intelligent agents in Human–Robot Interaction.
