[ CV ]

Shan-Yuan Teng is an Assistant Professor and Yushan Young Fellow in the Department of Computer Science & Information Engineering (CSIE) at National Taiwan University (NTU) in Taipei, Taiwan, where he leads the Dexterous Interaction Lab.

Shan-Yuan’s research advances a new generation of multimodal user interfaces, with a focus on haptic devices that create programmable sensations of touch and force. These devices aim to enhance users’ dexterity across interaction paradigms such as virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR/XR), wearables, and assistive technologies. Their work has been published at premier Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) venues, including ACM CHI and UIST, and demonstrated at SIGGRAPH and IEEE Haptics.

Shan-Yuan received their PhD in Computer Science from the University of Chicago, advised by Prof. Pedro Lopes. Shan-Yuan also holds an M.S. in Computer Science and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University.
