Biography
I am a Lecturer at the University of Auckland and the co-director of the Empathic Computing Laboratory at the Auckland Bioengineering Insititute. I graduated from the University of Malaya, Malaysia (UM) in 2013 with a degree in Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing Engineering. I then furthered my research at UM, which focuses on using AR technology for simulating machining processes, to obtain my Master's in Engineering Science in 2015. In 2018, I earned my PhD in Media Design from the Keio University Graduate School of Media Design (KMD) with my thesis entitled “Convex Interactions: Towards Efficient Human Motion in Peripersonal Space Using Virtual Reality”. For my postdoctoral research, I travelled to New Zealand to join the Empathic Computing Laboratory under Prof Mark Billinghurst. I then later became a Senior Assistant Professor at KMD, where I directed the Physionetic Interactions Group in the Embodied Media Laboratory.
