Senior🎓
Top SchoolJackie Yang is a PhD candidate based in New York with a decade-plus of experience at the intersection of multimodal interaction and AR/VR. Originally a sophomore at Columbia studying Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics, she is now enrolled at Stanford (started 2024) and blends rigorous academic training with practical research in immersive interfaces. Jackie’s work focuses on bridging perception, interaction design, and real-time systems to make AR/VR experiences more intuitive across modalities. Colleagues describe her as equally comfortable prototyping hardware-software integrations and publishing empirical studies, a mix that accelerates translation from lab ideas to usable demos. Her background suggests a rare combination of deep mathematical grounding and hands-on engineering in emerging spatial computing.
