My research is located at the intersection of artificial intelligence, mixed reality technology and human-computer interaction. In the past I have worked on the collaborative design of a novel mixed reality musical instrument with a jazz pianist. Currently, I am working on improving hand-tracking technology for mixed reality applications using surface electromyography devices.
