Ut (Jo Jo) Gong
Columbia CS PhD Student · CEAL
I design accessible interactive systems that help people understand information that is otherwise difficult to see, interpret, or communicate.
My research focuses on accessibility, human-computer interaction, visualization, and extended reality. I build tools that support perception, reasoning, and collaboration across different abilities, expertise, and contexts.
Research Focus
Accessibility
Designing systems that make visual and complex information perceivable and understandable.
HCI & Visualization
Building interactive tools for sensemaking, reasoning, and communication.
Extended Reality
Exploring immersive and multimodal interfaces for real-world expert tasks.
