Arata Jingu | 神宮亜良太

I am a third-year Ph.D. student at Human Computer Interaction Lab at Saarland University, advised by Prof. Dr. Jürgen Steimle.

My research interest is to enable end-users to save memories/records with real-world haptic information. My work has been published/exhibited at top-tier venues (e.g., ACM CHI/UIST, Laval Virtual) and featured on mainstream media (e.g., Yahoo Finance, Business Today, Engadget, hackster.io, and Communications of the ACM). Recipient of Google PhD Fellowship, Funai Overseas Scholarship.
