Bryan Min

I'm a first-year Ph.D. student at UC San Diego in the Cognitive Science Department doing research in Human-Computer Interaction. I work with Prof. Haijun Xia as part of the Foundation Interface Lab.

My research centers on malleable interfaces—interfaces that enable users to easily, expressively, and broadly customize their software interface without code or bloated lists of settings. Specifically, I'm exploring how users can create custom, personal abstractions of information through the interface. I analyze design patterns, develop interaction techniques, and create theoretical frameworks for bringing malleable interfaces to more end-users.
