Subramanian Chidambaram

Hi! My friends call me “Subbu.” I am a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researcher that specializes in the design, development, and study of novel systems, interfaces, and interaction techniques that advance the state of Augmented, Virtual, and Extended Reality (AR/VR/XR). I am currently the inaugural Postdoctoral Scientist of AWS's Human-in-the-Loop Science team, where I lead the development and evaluation of performing VR-based point-cloud data annotation. My PhD research at Purdue University focused on advancements in AR/VR authoring tools, fostering collaboration, and designing effective XR interfaces for spatial skill transfer. My research has been published at premier venues for HCI research, including ACM CHI, CSCW, UIST, Ubicomp, DIS and ISMAR. In addition, you can find more about my philosophy for research on the “About me” page.

If you find any of my work interesting and have any leads on possible research opportunities, please, get in touch with me: subbu10123@gmail.com (My contact links are also available at the bottom of this page). Appreciate you taking the time to check out my work. Cheers!
