*News* I am always recruiting highly motivated students (PhDs, Research Assistants/Interns, Visiting Students) and Post-Docs to join my research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Extended Reality (XR). Please feel free to check out our lab website: https://www.situated-reality.org/. It includes a “Join Us” page with a detailed FAQ outlining my expectations and supervision principles.
If you are passionate about HCI research but have never taken related courses or only have limited experience, please read some textbooks and foundational materials first. This is essential for understanding fundamental HCI concepts and scientific research. I have always been seeing students, even with first-author CHI papers, who don’t fully grasp the broader HCI field or the deeper research motivations.

P.S. After dinner at the Dagstuhl Seminar, Professor Inami from the University of Tokyo asked me how I evaluate my own research. I told him: first, I need to actually like the project myself and feel proud of it (otherwise, what’s the point?); second, I should be able to convince others it’s worth something—especially my supervisor, since this is still a PhD journey; and third—this one’s more of a bonus—the real impact. HCI is all about people, so if a technical contribution is strong enough, it might just make its way into industry or even a product. He (Prof. Inami) seemed to like that answer. :)
