刘星宇

Greetings! I’m Bruce, a Ph.D. student at the UCLA HCI lab advised by Professor Xiang ‘Anthony’ Chen.

My research interests are at the intersection of HCI and AI. I work on designing and building systems that enables new modes of thought of how humans interact with {humansAI}. My work spans application domains including communication, accessibility, augmented reality, etc.

My work has been recognized and supported by an Amazon Ph.D. Fellowship (2023), an ACM UIST Best Paper Award 🏆 (2022), two ACM CHI Best Paper Honorable Mentions 🏅 (2023, 2024), an ED Rice Outstanding Master Student Award 🎓 (2023), and a Distinguished Master’s Thesis Research Award 🎓 (2022) at UCLA. I also held research internships at Meta Reality Labs, Google and Snap Research.
