• Conducted a series of VR-based comparative study on headphone and loudspeaker spatial audio reproduction and its effects on dynamic balance performance in collaboration with Dr. Anat Lubetzky, using congruent and incongruent auditory cues in multimodal and unimodal conditions to assess auditory influence on balance control.• Developed a WebXR-based spatial audio system for co-located, multi-participant extended reality environments in collaboration with NYU Future Reality Lab. Integrated spatial audio and informative auditory displays to enhance participant immersion, presence, and collaboration. Implemented technical features, including sound source spatialization, ambisonics, acoustic simulation, and multi-user synchronization, within a server-client framework.

• Defined and formalized a family of Learning-Hard Problems (LH-Ps) to address challenges in machine learning with small and nonlinear data with Dr. Henry Han• Proposed an overfitting-free learning (OFL) model to tackle learning-hardness in various AI and ML domains, including audio content analysis tasks

• Successfully shipped two major titles, 'Rogue Company' and 'Realm Royale Reforged' • Developed Unreal Engine audio features and editor tools in C++ for 'Smite'• Sound designed for 'Rogue Company', including map environments, UI, and weapons; implemented and designed audio and music systems with Wwise & Unreal; designed environment acoustics• Engaged in R&D projects for 'Rogue Company', focusing on the development of innovative 3D Reverb and Occlusion audio solutions to enhance in-game acoustics• Served as the lead technical sound designer and sound designer for 'Realm Royale Reforged'
