I am a Kyrgyzstani-born multidisciplinary researcher and creative technologist. Currently, I lead a team of HCI researchers at Mercari R4D working on inclusive design and accessibility applications via generative AI and immersive media. I am also a Visiting Researcher at the Research Center for Digital Nature, University of Tsukuba & Miraikan, focusing on accessibility and immersive interaction studies.

My research expertise spans creating interactive systems that address accessibility challenges for users with visual and cognitive impairments, building distributed mobile systems for mixed reality telepresence and remote collaboration, and investigating AI-driven extended reality systems for enhanced navigation and creativity.

I have served on organizing committees for ACM CHI, ACM IMX, and ACM VRCAI, and held long-standing positions in multiple ACM SIGGRAPH standing committees. I also served as a reviewer for leading venues including ACM CHI, IMWUT, IEEE VR, and ISMAR.

My works have been presented at ACM CHI, SIGGRAPH, ASSETS, CSCW, ISMAR, and NeurIPS. I have given invited talks at Stanford University, ACM SIGGRAPH, and the World Congress of Science and Factual Producers.
