Hongyu Zhou

PhD Student

I was a PhD researcher in human computer interaction and virtual reality, with a focus on embodiment and shared control in multi user and multi limb interaction. My work investigates how people coordinate when control is distributed across bodies, viewpoints, and supernumerary robotic limbs, and how interface design can balance performance, comfort, and agency.
