About

I am broadly interested in digital fabrication, computational design and human-computer interaction. I have been enjoying simulating and optimizing the fabrication process, including 3D printing, shape-changing material and origami. I am currently a 3rd-year Ph.D. student in CMU's Human-Computer Interaction Institute, advised by Lining Yao.

2018 - now, Ph.D. student, Carnegie Mellon University

2014 - 2017, Bachelor, Shanghai Jiao Tong University
