Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works on haptics, the study and engineering of touch-based interaction, including how vibration and electrical stimulation on the skin can convey information such as speech, sound, or spatial distance. Much of the work explores tactile displays as communication aids and as tools for enhancing virtual reality and gaming experiences. Note that the provided publication list appears to mix in unrelated titles (e.g., on medicine, economics, and power systems), which are likely not part of this PI's own body of work.

Publication output has been relatively steady but modest over the last decade, with some year-to-year fluctuation and a slight decline in the most recent years compared to a peak around 2018-2020.
