HCI, Accessibility, Ubicomp, and Cooking

I am a master student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. My supervisor is Prof. Khai N. Truong. My research interests are in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Assistive Technology, and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp).

Besides, I am also a cook since 6 years old. I master in Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and Italian Cuisines.
