May 31, 2025 I am back at Adobe Research as a Research Scientist/Engineer Intern! I am working with Christine Dierk and Eunyee Koh on how generative AI can enable novel workflows for search and generation of design artifacts.
Apr 30, 2025 I wrapped up my internship at Fujitsu Research where I developed an interactive system that leverages LLMs to help people identify and interpret issues with datasets for Gaussian Splatting reconstructions. Paper to come! I also completed my research proposal milestone titled “Beyond proximal-distal: A Many-to-Many Model for Tacit Knowledge Transfer in Tutorials”. The finish line is in sight!
Mar 31, 2025 I AC’d for both the Designing Interactive Systems (DIS) conference and Creativity Cognition (C&C) conference. Lots of fantastic papers this year!
Jan 01, 2025 I started an internship as a Research Intern with Mose Sakashita at Fujitsu Research where I will be working at the intersection of HCI and Computer Graphics.
Jul 31, 2024 My co-author Adam Emerson presented our paper Anther: Cross-Pollinating Communities of Practice via Video Tutorials at the DIS conference in Copenhagen!
Jun 30, 2024 I attended the Creativity and Cognition Conference in Chicago. I presented my thesis work at the Graduate Student Symposium and I presented my paper Shared, Shaped, and Stolen: Tracing Sites of Knowledge Transfer across Creative Communities of Practice with Adam Emerson. This was one of the best conference experiences I’ve had!
Mar 31, 2024 I got the opportunity to be an Associate Chair (AC) for the Designing Interactive Systems conference! It was a great experience looking at the behind the scenes of the review process.
Aug 31, 2023 My internship project at Adobe is finally out in the wild! I had an amazing time working with Christine on the Primrose dress. I specifically worked on integrating sensors so that the animations responded to movement and sound.
Jul 31, 2023 I attended DIS in Pittsburgh and presented my paper Tacit Descriptions! I also had a fantastic experience being an in-person Student Volunteer- got to meet some amazing folks!
May 31, 2023 I started an internship as a Research Scientist/Engineer Intern at Adobe Research! I am working with Christine Dierk in the Emerging Devices Group on Project Primrose. Our paper Cogcues: Shifting Perception through Interactive Projected Cues in Still Life Drawing got the Best Paper Award in the Creativity and Cognition 2023 conference! Congrats Bijisa and team!
Apr 30, 2023 My paper Tacit Descriptions: Uncovering Ambiguity in Crowdsourced Descriptions of Motions and Materials got accepted in DIS 2023! Additionally, our paper BraidFlow: A Flow-annotated Dataset of Kumihimo Braidmaking Activity got accepted in DIS 2023! Congrats Akib and team!
Mar 31, 2023 I TA’d a workshop called “Flow Triggers - Designing Interactions for Inducing or Sustaining Experiences of Flow in Braidmaking Tasks“ hosted by my lab for OurCS@DFW/SCRF. Our team won Best Presentation award!
