At #UIST2025, I’ll be presenting Kinethreads: Soft Full-Body Haptic Exosuit using Low-Cost Motor Pulley Mechanisms!
I’m the FIRST talk of Mon (after the keynote, 11 AM Grand Ballroom), and check out my demo Mon night :)

As of today, I am an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Entertainment Technology Center, an oddball department here at CMU!
I can’t really find the words to express my excitement and gratitude. I'm so happy to have found this non-traditional academic role that fits me so well :)

I didn't want to be a research faculty/run my own lab, but I also didn't want to leave the world of academia entirely. I'm really excited to jump into this third option at a wonderful place like the ETC!
