[ CV ]
Shan-Yuan Teng is a PhD candidate 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 become 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 15 papers (7 as the first author) at top Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) conferences including ACM CHI & UIST, with two Best Paper Awards & four Honorable Mention Awards, and demonstrated at SIGGRAPH, IEEE Haptics.
Shan-Yuan was born in Taiwan and received Master’s degree in Computer Science & Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering at National Taiwan University.

PhD research: enabling haptic experiences anywhere, anytime
My research question is: What fundamental restrictions are limiting wearable haptic devices from integrating into our lives, and, more importantly, can we tackle these? I wrote articles on this overarching idea in CHI doctoral consortium, IEEE VR workshop, ACM XRDS, and published papers:lead author publications (ACM CHI & UIST)
