Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVictor Cheung is a lecturer in Computing Science at Simon Fraser University with 13 years of experience bridging human-computer interaction research and hands-on teaching in programming, data structures, and UI design. He holds a PhD in Systems Design Engineering from the University of Waterloo and has led postdoctoral work across labs focused on ambient information visualization, tangible and deformable interfaces, and child-computer interaction. Victor designs, prototypes, and evaluates interaction techniques for gesture- and multi-touch-enabled devices—especially tabletop and large-display systems—and brings that research directly into advanced courses and student mentorship. His background spans international training from HKUST to Magdeburg, and he combines deep technical prototyping skills with an unusual focus on how interfaces support children’s cognitive and emotional development. Off the clock he’s known for prototyping (and making coffee), reflecting a pragmatic, hands-on approach to research and teaching.
