Research interests
My doctoral research was on aesthetic experience and judgment of arts with a focus on spatial artworks. I mainly employed visual psychophysics including eye tracking, judgment tasks, and complimentary questionnaires in the real world, laboratory, virtual reality, and online settings. Previously, my master's research involved visual psychophysics and ontology focusing on time and motion perception, after taking courses across departments for two years. My undergraduate study in architecture was mainly on architectural theory, spatial representations, and public spaces.
