May 2021 - Aug 2021
As an assistant researcher, I focused on virtual reality (VR) technology and tools for aviation training (e.g., training for pilots, flight crew, and ground crew).
Specifcially, the goal of my research was to survey existing research and literature on applications of VR training in aviation, creating a knowledge base from which I can draw upon for further reseach.
I was also an assistant researcher on a project looking into coaching methods and stress in professional Esports players:
Sabtan, B., Cao, S., & Paul, N. (accepted in 2022). Current practice and challenges in coaching Esports players: An interview study with League of Legends professional team coaches. Entertainment Computing.
