Shan-Yuan Teng is a 5th-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Chicago advised by Prof. Pedro Lopes. Shan-Yuan’s research aims at advancing a new generation of haptic interfaces (e.g., those that can create the sense of touch, forces, etc.) that exhibit properties that we became used to expecting from our mobile phones & wearables, such as extreme mobility, availability anytime, etc. To advance haptics into this new territory and grant it these novel properties, Shan-Yuan engineers custom-made interactive devices that, for instance: allow to feel touch in mixed reality without encumbering our fingerpads, or come with virtually infinite battery life. Shan-Yuan has published this work as 14 papers (six as the first author) at top Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) conferences including ACM CHI & UIST, with two Best Paper Awards and four Honorable Mention Awards.

Before coming to Chicago, Shan-Yuan worked with Prof. Bing-Yu ‘Robin’ Chen at National Taiwan University, where Shan-Yuan received Master’s degree in Computer Science & Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
