[NSF IRES: Summer Research Intern Opportunity]: From 2022 Fall, we started to direct a three-year research project on Physical AI Design sponsored by NSF with Prof.Bo Zhu (PI) and Prof. Takeo Igarashi. We are actively looking for summer research interns in the areas of physics simulation, machine learning, and user interface in Dartmouth College, University of Tokyo and JAIST. More information about the internship can be found on the project webpage. (The applicant must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident)

Research Vision

I believe AI technologies are designed and created to augment human capabilities and involve human impact to become responsible and trustworthy. My main research interests are in User Interfaces for Augmented Intelligence, especially for content creation, human augmentation, machine learning and other AI (Artificial Intelligence)-related Technologies. We aims to create user interfaces from the virtual worlds to our real environments and our bodies with seamless connection. We explore innovative research projects in Interactive Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Human-Computer Interaction, VR/AR, Human Augmentation and Robotics with the following current main research topics: (For research introduction, please refer [JAIST][Sketch]．)

• (xDesign)Sketch-based Interfaces: for geometry modeling, animation, image generation, drawing, etc.
  
• (xIntelli)Intelligent User Interfaces: for human-in-the-loop, perception, video retrieval, machine learning etc.
  
• (xHuman)Augmented Human Interfaces: with robotic arm, shape-changing interface, wearable devices, etc.
  
• (xSpace)Spatial Intelligence Interfaces: for daily activities, such as fabrication, game, training, dance, sports,etc.
