HexBlocks
HexBlocks is an open-source software-hardware framework for on-the-fly prototyping of reconfigurable physical interfaces.
Publication & Projects
Well, my Google Scholar page is here. It is very self-explainable these days. I have been actively publishing papers this year, so a few more publications are expected this year.
(selected) Projects
2023
Zhu Nao Project 竹腦
Zhu Nao is a bamboo-based digital musical instrument grounded in Chinese cultural context. The project explores musical cosmotechnics, locality, and how local cosmologies can shape DMI design.
2019-2021
Digital Citizenship
Digital Citizenship is a research project on digital literacy, digital wellbeing, and collaborative problem solving among students, coordinated by The University of Hong Kong. I was in charge of independently developing a multiplayer puzzle-solving educational serious game for CPS assessment, using Unreal Engine 5.
2015
Strands Project (Robotics)
I was an undergraduate student in BSc Computer Science at University of Birmingham back in the days. I don't think I have done much in this project, but it is the first research project I have ever participated in. I actually learnt a lot by watching other people and robots. This project inspired me to put a lot of effort into robotics and the field of doing research. Our team ended up scoring 2nd prize in the UK-RAS field robotics challenge in 2016.
