Making content respond to people: first data, then ink, now generative AI.

2023 — today

Media that come alive

Generative AI as an interactive, living medium.

Generative UIInteractive diffusionSpatial promptingGenerative ARVibe gaming

Why it matters

Chat unlocked the first wave of AI adoption. But a text box is a narrow window onto models that can now generate images, video, interfaces, and entire worlds. The next wave will come from mediums people can touch, steer, and reshape continuously. When AI becomes interactive, more people can use it, for more of their work, and with real control over the result.

Impact & influential work

I push AI beyond the chat box, toward generated content you can touch, steer, and reshape. I proved it in research, with three CHI and UIST Honorable Mentions, eight patent filings, and live demos to Microsoft leadership. I proved it in product too, leading image generation in the Copilot app, the generative pipeline behind Xbox Design Lab controllers, and image understanding in Copilot.

At EPIC I turned this vision into infrastructure: a common codebase and 20+ containerized generative models that take researchers and interns from idea to working prototype in days.

Ink & new input

Pen, touch, and devices that bring interaction closer to thought.

Digital inkPen + touchHandwriting AICross-deviceAccessibility

Why it matters

Ink is the fastest way to get a thought out of your head: no menus, no syntax. Yet digital ink has mostly stayed as static marks on a page. Making ink understood, legible, and generative turns the pen into a first-class way to work with data and AI, and opens it to people with motor impairments or who never learned to draw.

Impact & influential work

I made the case that ink should be a first-class input for AI, not a static mark on a page. My research, including a CHI Honorable Mention and work at CHI, UIST, and IEEE VR, defined how ink can act on data, reshape documents, and travel across devices.

On Microsoft’s Pen & Ink team I was the bridge from research to product. I led the prototypes that brought ink and AI into OneNote, Loop, and Copilot, which led to ink straightening and sketch-to-image in OneNote, a winning Office AI hackathon, and an ink canvas in Loop. Along the way I mentored Microsoft Research interns on cross-device and pen interaction.

Key papers

• ActiveInkCHI 2019 ★ Honorable Mention

  Ink annotations that act on the data they mark, for active reading of visualizations.

• OneNote · Sketch to image

  Turned our prototypes into sketch-to-image on the OneNote canvas with the Pen & Ink incubation team.

• Loop · Ink as a first-class citizen

  1st place in the Office AI hackathon (2025): ink on the lock screen, in Loop, and in Copilot chat. The product team then started building an ink canvas into Loop.

• Office · Sketch beautification

  Led a top-three hackathon project (2024) on beautifying sketches, picked up as a new experience across Office apps.

• Generative ink & handwriting legibility

  Tech lead on handwriting generation, and on new ML approaches that segment ascenders, descenders, and baselines to make ink more legible and accessible.

Data that responds

Expressive, interactive visualization for sensemaking.

Information visualizationGraph drawingAnimationPictographsData comics

Why it matters

Data only matters if people can see it, question it, and tell its story. During my Ph.D. at Inria, and in collaboration with Microsoft Research, I designed systems where visual representations are authored and shaped directly, rather than configured through menus. That idea, content you shape by hand, is the seed of everything I’ve built since.

Impact & influential work

My Ph.D. challenged the default look of network visualizations: plain circles, lines, and static edges. I showed that expressive, animated visuals can encode more data and engage readers. This work won the INTERACT 2019 Best Doctoral Student Paper award and appeared at CHI and IEEE TVCG, and my collaborations earned a CHI Best Paper.

The idea came full circle with generative AI. I turned charts into constraints for image generation, which became the AI infographics pipeline in Microsoft Designer, and I launched a joint internship bringing data comics to Microsoft Security.

Key papers

• GraphiesIEEE TVCG 2021

  Expressive authoring of node-link diagrams, beyond default circles and lines.

• Animated Edge TexturesCHI 2018

  A design space for animating edges to encode data in network visualizations.

• Particle Speed PerceptionINTERACT 2019 ★ Best Doctoral Student Paper

• Dear PictographCHI 2020

• Sketchnote StrategiesCHI 2021 ★ Best Paper

  Components, dimensions, and strategies for effective visual note taking.

• Interactive Data ComicsIEEE TVCG 2022

Product impact

• Microsoft Designer · AI infographics

  Invented using a chart’s depth map to constrain image generation, and prototyped it on our Stable Diffusion + ControlNet pipeline. It drove a hackathon with the Designer team and became the SDXL pipeline for AI infographics.

• Microsoft Security · Data comics

  Launched a joint internship with Microsoft Security that tells the story of security incidents through data comics.
