Che-Wei Hsu 徐晢瑋

About

I am a fifth-year undergraduate student in Mechanical Engineering at National Taiwan University, and I will pursue a Master's degree in Computer Science and Information Engineering there. I was previously advised by Prof. Mike Y. Chen at the NTU HCI Lab and am now advised by Prof. Shan-Yuan Teng at the Dexterous Interaction Lab.

My research focuses on accessibility-oriented interaction design, exploring how technology can help individuals with motor impairments or age-related limitations participate more fully in activities such as digital games and social interaction. I am particularly interested in designing systems that lower interaction barriers and enable inclusive participation through alternative input methods and assistive technologies. In addition, I study how wearable and external devices can extend human capabilities in specific interactive contexts, and how users learn to adopt and embody these augmented interaction techniques. More broadly, I am interested in the learning process, embodiment, and design methodologies of wearable and body-integrated interfaces.

I also joined the Student Summer Research Fellowship at the University of Chicago in 2025, where I worked with Prof. Pedro Lopes at the Human Computer Integration Lab.
