Hello. I’m Lei (Rayne) Zhang.
I am a second year Ph.D. student at University of Michigan, School of Information, luckily advised by Professor Steve Oney.
My research interests lie primarily in the fields of Human-Computer Interaction, Virtual/Augmented Reality, and Authoring & Programming Tools. Recently, I am doing research in immersive authoring in Virtual Reality to enable novices to easily create VR applications. I am constantly thinking about this fascinating question: how do we shape the ways that people will use to customize and communicate with the 3D (or even higher-dimensional) virtual contents in the future?
Previously, I was an undergraduate in the School of Software at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I was a research member at the Digital ART Lab of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, supervised by Prof. Xubo Yang and Prof. Shuangjiu Xiao.I have also conducted research at Cascade Lab in University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, supervised by Prof. Wai-Tat Fu.
