I am a Ph.D. student working at the Interactive Media Lab Dresden since December 2019. As a member of the project, Collaborative Research Centre “Foundations of Perspicuous Software Systems” funded by the DFG, I am discovering the new methods of selection, manipulation, navigation as well as collaboration for the Mixed Reality environment in the paradigm of Human-Computer Interaction. In general, my research interests are located on Augmented Reality, Immersive Analytics, and Social Computing.
