Hi, I’m Matthew!

I’m an Electrical and Computer Engineering M.S. student at UCLA.

My research interests are Human Computer Interaction, Graphics and Computer Vision. I did my undergrad at UC Berkeley where I worked with Prof. Avideh Zakhor and Prof. Bjoern Hartmann.

Seeing Sound

Seeing Sound is an AR/VR project that addresses loss of stereo hearing by developing a set of visual indicators that assist users to localize sounds in their environment.

Demo
Gestural Music Interface

An instrument that allows musicians to augment vocal performances in real time. Uses gestural input from a Leap Motion controller to trigger chord progressions and vocoder parameters via MAX/MSP.

Demo
Face Morphing

I produced various morphs and calculated average faces for a population.
