Hello, I'm Yi Fei.

I am a Ph.D. student at the Augmented Perception Lab at the Carnegie Mellon University Human-Computer Interaction Institute with David Lindlbauer. I am broadly interested in building multimodal, adaptive systems that enable novel ways for people to interact with digital information and with each other. Before starting my Ph.D., I completed my undergrad in Computer Science at Swarthmore College.
