Introduction
I am a third-year Ph.D. student at the Department of Computer Science, George Mason University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Dr. Bo Han. Prior to joining Mason, I got a B.S. degree in computer science in 2021. My name in Cantonese (HKGCR) is Yui-Chi Shing.
My research interests are mobile immersive computing, networked systems, and deep learning, with a recent focus on live interactive holographic communication and privacy-preserving user authentication in AR/VR/MR. During the past, I have conducted several projects to improve utility, efficiency, user experience, and security & privacy on mobile AR/VR/MR systems from different perspectives, including network measurement, user study design, and VR-based online education. I received the best paper award from IEEE MetaBuild 2022.
