About Me

I am a Research Associate at University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada.

I am passionate about using modern technologies and computational methods to examine the synergy between human visual perception and motor control.

Outside of academia, I am also the co-founder and chair of the board for the Asian Arts and Culture Trust (AACT).

AACT is a Federally-incorporated not-for-profit organization that provides public programming to increase empathy, appreciation, and representation of Asian heritage, arts, and culture in Canada.
