MMath - Human-computer interaction
Was
your
undergraduate
in
CS?
If
not,
what
did
you
study?
I
majored
in
software
engineering
as
an
undergraduate.
Why
did
you
choose
graduate
studies
and
why
did
you
choose
graduate
studies
in
CS?
I
chose
to
pursue
a
master’s
degree
as
I
enjoyed
doing
research.
I
had
a
few
research
experience
in
medical
image
processing
and
computer
graphics
during
my
time
as
an
undergraduate.
I
found
those
to
be
very
positive
experiences
and
decided
to
dig
deeper
into
topics
that
are
of
interest
to
me.
Graduate
studies
at
the
University
of
Waterloo
offer
great
opportunities
in
the
realization
of
this
goal.
What
is
your
research
area
and
why
did
you
choose
it?
Human-computer
interaction.
This
area
is
interdisciplinary,
meaning
that
it
covers
a
variety
of
facets
in
both
computer
science
and
psychology.
The
research
is
cutting-edge,
and
this
allows
our
research
to
easily
convert
into
real-world
applications.
Who
is
your
supervisor
and
why
did
you
choose
to
work
with
him/her?
My
supervisor
is
Dan
Vogel.
He
is
an
artist
and
computer
scientist
who
has
many
awesome
research
ideas
that
can
capture
one’s
imagination.
Dan
respects
the
research
interests
of
students
and
is
actively
engaged
in
the
research
process.
Why
did
you
choose
Waterloo
for
graduate
studies?
The
University
of
Waterloo
has
the
most
prestigious
computer
science
program
in
Canada.
It
is
also
located
in
an
area
that
is
home
to
the
most
vibrant
information
technology
industry
in
the
country.
Waterloo
offers
more
opportunities
and
greater
support
for
international
students
than
any
other
Canadian
university.
What
sort
of
research/projects
are
you
working
on?
I
have
focused
on
giving
real
time
feedback
of
fingers
used
for
touch
typing
to
promote
people’s
typing
efficiency.
Leveraging
computer
vision
algorithms
to
explore
novel
input
methods
and
human-computer
interaction
techniques
to
study
human
behaviour
against
computer
input
design
is
something
that
I
find
very
rewarding.
What
classes
are
you
taking?
What
has
been
your
favourite
class
so
far?
I
have
taken
courses
in
artificial
intelligence,
human-computer
interaction,
and
software
engineering.
I
enjoyed
all
the
courses
that
I
have
taken.
