Anchit Mishra

I am a PhD student at the University of Waterloo, working in Human-Computer Interaction under the supervision of Profs. Oliver Schneider, Matthew Brehmer and Daniel Vogel. My primary research interests include exploring the use of multimodal interactions in the context of mixed-reality applications. This work often involves the use of techniques from machine learning, computer graphics, and haptics, alongside empirical research methods common in HCI.

Outside of research, I enjoy playing around with Computer Graphics techniques, with a focus on physics-based animation and other, more general visualizations. I’m also a big math-head, and like to read up on all sorts of unrelated math concepts in my free time. I recently found out that I have an Erdos number of 4, which was fun.

My other interests include running/lifting, playing video games, playing the piano and listening to jazz, hip-hop and R&B music.
